Playment Reviews

Well, everything in this world has a cost attached to it. Here, they don't care about you. All they care about is the company. You might be useful today and not tomorrow. You are good God today, a switch of events and you're out of the picture. The top order decides almost everything and leaves so little for the rest of us. There are many things to work on, various type of technologies, different type of strategies, but if they don't feel you are 'worthy-enough' or someone else is 'better', you won't have it, even if you were the one who introduced that. They need you today, you will be loaded with the responsibility of entire project, tomorrow they found someone better, you won't even know when things got changed under your nose. When it comes to working, you will be told to work as Google-Facebook-employee... consider yourself no less than Elon Musk. When it comes to package, your previous package decides current one. They might fire you and ask you to pack your things in two days. But if you are leaving, you might have to struggle for your last working day. Been there! If you believe in 'that's how the world/startup works' even if it happens to you, go ahead. Advice to new recruit - Make sure you have all things clear BEFORE joining, things like package, shares, perks etc. Don't go into things like 'we will give you this after XYZ months', 'it's a probation period' etc. If they are not sure about you now, chances are they are taking you in till they find a better match. P.S.- I am assuming that you are ok with ~70 hours a week, 6 days working culture.

There is only one rule in company which is "if something is good for company, it is the right thing to do". And what is 'good' for company is decided by them (founders/heads). People are nowhere is picture. Almost everybody from first 15 employees have left the company (except founders and tech head), even those who were with them when they found it in their flat (in just two years). They might hire you for something, but you will be given some other job. Being in startup, you expect yourself to work on a lot of things, for exposure, but you won't have it or have it minimal because they don't want you to do as they have some other plans. Now, if you have enough strength after working 70-75 hrs and then do some side activity and come up with results, then you might get it, otherwise forget it. You might be interested in machine learning part but you'd actually be working on SEO things or setting the color right on website. Also, if you're working on something and are responsible for it and meanwhile they found some other person (consultant or contract), they might assign that person to work on it, even without you knowing it. One day you have a server issue and bamm, you have no idea about this feature. This is the most irritating thing about them, they want to know everything but they don't want to show transparency. They talk, they agree, but it never happens. And trust me, finalize financial things beforehand, otherwise you'd regret it later. Now don't get me wrong, they are nice people when you talk to them, and company doesn't have poisonous culture or something... it is just, they are cold and actions speak more than words.
