Pros

No Pros as of now

Cons

The toxic “Byju’s mentality” is ruining the company. The CTO has filled upper management with his Byju’s buddies, and it’s killing innovation and culture. Anil Goel acts like some superhero who can magically cut AWS costs to zero, but he doesn’t even understand the basics of cost optimization. In the process, he’s gambling with revenue and stability. Directors and VPs are mostly imports from failed Indian startups like Byju’s. They only hire their old pals and shamelessly fire capable employees from the previous management.
