Pros
- It's located in goa and thereby the quality of living is significantly better than metros owing to little pollution, next to zero traffic and a lower cost of living. -There are some good people working in the mid-management to there's an element of peer learning.
Cons
It's a long list but i'll only highlight the structural problems and the tendency to fleece their investors. 1. Gourav Jaswal has hired friends and family in senior positions like board members/ CXOs who have been hired not for their competence but only because they're close to GJ. 2. Prototyze is basically a scheme by GJ to raise money from angels (because no VC worth their salt will give them a dime post due-diligence) and to pocket it by diverting some of the money to Private unlimited companies. 3. their ventures are lame. period. none can return money to the investors with the exception of seynse. 4. you're promised an entrepreneurial work environment that's a cradle of innovation whereas in reality everything has been pre-decided. right from choosing the name of the venture to design and product aspects is done by GJ without any major inputs from employees or even the venture heads. 4. unethical business and hiring practices. 5. GJ doesn't have any major educational background or workex. he is well connected owing to his past experience in tech media an that's what's sustaining this 6. Just look at some of the 5 star tributes on glassdoor. Somehow all, barring one of them were submitted on the same day (5th july) thereby propping up the rating from 1.6 to 3.1 . Perfectly encapsulates their mantra of doing everything just for the optics.
