Terrible place to work at! A company built on false promises!

Pros

The only good part about Tripoto is the people you'll meet there. They really have a bunch of extremely talented people (that they don't value at all). You are likely to form some great relationships here.

Cons

Oh, this is going to be long! Will try and break it down into points: 1. Good cop-bad cop show by co-founders: Tripoto is founded by two people and they execute the perfect good cop-bad cop situation on a daily basis. While one of them is completely unprofessional (more on him in the following points), the other silently watches the show while trying to be sweet to the employees. 2. Issues with one of the co-founders: Tripoto has always been a very promising product but because of one of the two co-founders, the company now stands at almost a shutdown point. The said person has major trust issues, is delusional, is a control freak, has shown signs of split-personality and has even admitted to having no control over his anger. He basically treats people like objects and has single-handedly destroyed the company's culture. There have been cases of verbal abuse, death threats, physical violence, rage and even stalking of women through their personal social media channels. And mind you, all of this is done in full public view, in the name of "startup culture". 3. False promises: The company is indulged in a lot of shady work. Fake marketing leads, cooked up stories are published and freelancers and influencers are often misled to get work done at lower or no costs. 4. Inefficient senior management: To make matters worse, Tripoto also has a highly inefficient senior management. This group, mostly comprised of men, just acts as the bridge to spread the toxicity from higher ups to the ground-level employees. This crop of individuals are paid hefty amounts of money for doing absolutely nothing but create unnecessary pressure amongst the people who actually keep the company running. There are some women also who have sadly, become a part of this group and advocate the co-founder's behaviour. 5. Favouritism: Tripoto is a company that advocates favouritism and bullying. There is a significant chunk of people who have no real contribution to the work here but continue to draw hefty paycheques just because they are close to the co-founder. These people literally roam about the office aimlessly every single day, holding random meetings and sometimes, even doing tasks that the co-founder's personal secretary would do otherwise. 6. No clear direction: Finally, despite all the hullabaloo, the company still lacks a clear direction. Employees are assigned completely random, monotonous tasks that have no relation to their skillset whatsoever. On an average, only 1 in 5 people actually experience professional growth at Tripoto.

The management can choose to respond to this review in "corporate speak" -- basically say nothing and let it float around as a cheap slander behind the veil of anonymity . However given our culture of truthful feedback and also for the benefit of others who wish to work with us - our response shall be more candid. a) Thank you for complimenting us on building a great team of extremely talented individuals. We are extremely proud of it. You being a part of the team must be extremely talented yourself. Why then did you choose to spend more than 3 years in the company if it had delusional founders, bad management, false promises and no career progression? Surely a person of your calibre and with such integrity and courage should have left the organization much earlier? Were you not truthful about your feelings during your tenure or are you now being untruthful in your review? For your information the average tenure for the team at Tripoto is greater than 3 years and some have spent over 5 years with the company. b) This is one of the toughest times that the industry and the entire world is facing with Covid-19. The company has tried to save as many jobs as possible during this crisis, however the times are indeed tough. We will emerge stronger from this as a team. The timing of your review suggests that your role or compensation in the company has been affected due to the crisis. You have hence chosen to express your anger and frustration on the platform. While we understand that this must be a difficult time for you personally it also gives you ample time to introspect about your own actions - i.e - You spent more than 3 years with the company during good times and choose to leave a review completely trashing the company and damaging its reputation when the times are tough? What does it say about you? Your introspection we hope is productive and helps you build a stronger character. We wish you the best in your career. We hope that in your next organization if you face any issues you choose transparency, integrity and straightforwardness. That is you either raise the problems and fix them or you leave the organization if you don't believe in it - This is what startup culture means. We sincerely hope that it doesn't take you 3 more years to figure this in your next job - then you would just be disrespecting yourself and learning nothing. We are all human and learning to be better is the only way forward for all of us.

Sloppy Management, No professionalism

Pros

You can come to office in casual wear

Cons

Where do I even start 1. One task takes days to start and weeks to get completed. There is no upper or middle tire management and heirarchy is almost not there which leads to confusion and delay. (We need someone to call the shots) 2. Poor salaries. Really bad. No incentives, event the appraisals are small and insignificant. 3. HR gives no ducks about the employees. The AC, the Wifi, even the cleanliness of washrooms in the workplace is questionable. 4. Unethical work strategies, from fake leads to fake stories, everything is okay here which makes it an uninspiring place to work at. 5. Favoritism is rampant and an honest hard working employee will be ignored if he/she is not the management's favorite.
