Pros

End to end ownership of the projects you work on

Cons

The quality of your peers is bad. It's mostly inexperienced folks from tier1/2 institutions. More experienced folks have already left as they realised this place isn't worth wasting their time.. There are not many tasks where you actually need to use your brain. Mostly the work as an IC involves managing buggy legacy code with current feature tasks. Apart from some pet projects which you can try to generalize as a platform offering, mostly you'll be writing CRUD APIs and responding to oncalls. If you're from a service based company this might be a step up for you.. if you have worked on product based companies this is a big step down. Tech leadership actually is not very good at tech but is good at politics. The company itself is very sales driven.. just build MVP and market it so that net revenue increases, no one except you cares about the quality of tech being outputted. If you get satisfaction from doing good work, then you will become depressed here. If you have a strong resume, your tenure at cashfree will weaken your resume.

Pros

Good projects, exposure to fintech good to start your career as intern after internship I would suggest you to look out for opportunities in other places Work life balance depends on team generic team might have good WLB, core teams like infra or platform or any other core team might have very heavy impact on Wlb, My team had a decent WLB

Cons

My experience was utterly terrible as an employee working with service based mindset people Strict WFO with no exceptions Do not join very toxic and pay is very less compared to similar other companies, you will be treated like slave day and night they will ask you to sell your soul for money Pathetic HR team, Below average team, average to below managers
