Pros

1. Good domain knowledge 2. Strong support from the VC 3. Courage to take the IPO route and be a trendsetter among startups for this.

Cons

1. The owner mindset of the top management has meant that the company is run like a fiefdom. 2. Hire and fire is the approach followed. People are treated like commodity and empathy is non-existent. In my limited experience have not seen another organization that treats its employees so badly. 3. Managers are not empowered at all. Decision making is centralized and autocratic. 4. Dependency of biz on a few high value customers. The day they move out revenue might collapse. 5. An invisible finance department [controlled within the family] runs the company by remote control. 6. Exiting employees are treated shabbily and their F&F takes its own sweet time [in violation of the law] 7. Employees are frequently threatened with deduction of salary for any on the job mistake 8. Top management is highly temperamental in behavior. 9. Lack of vision and direction 10. No cake cutting/celebration on birthdays in office [yes, the top management has an opinion on this as well !!!!!]

Pros

The Good Compensation is decent, and joining this company feels promising initially. The opportunity seemed exciting on paper.

Cons

The Reality However, the experience quickly shifts. There is genuinely nothing to learn here. Leadership has no clear strategy — priorities change every 2–3 months, leaving teams confused and directionless. Resource Utilization is Abysmal Senior management has no idea how to utilize mid-to-senior level talent. You will find yourself sitting idle for hours — sometimes full 9-hour days, 5 days a week — with zero meaningful work assigned. It’s demoralizing and a complete waste of potential. Toxic Culture & Favoritism There is blatant favoritism at play. If you’re not in the “in” group, you will be sidelined. Taking leaves? Be prepared to be shamed for it. The culture does not respect basic work-life boundaries. Leadership is the Biggest Red Flag The leadership quality, especially at the VP-Engineering level, is deeply concerning. Key decision-makers lack basic communication and strategic thinking skills, yet somehow hold senior titles. It raises serious questions about how hiring and promotions happen here. No Dignified Exit Process Even the offboarding is handled poorly. Employees are not given a respectful or professional exit experience, which says everything about how the company values its people. Bottom Line The money isn’t worth your career stagnation, mental health, or time. This has been, by far, one of the worst professional experiences one can have — and I would never recommend this company to anyone serious about growth.
