Likes

- Working at 5x has been a rewarding experience, providing me with the chance to delve into extensive datasets and leverage a wide array of tools. My data engineering proficiency has markedly advanced through my involvement in projects that integrated systems and automated processes. - 5x leverages a cutting edge technology stack, encompassing Spring Boot, AWS, React and many more, creating a stimulating and demanding environment for developers. This has enable me to broaden my technical acumen and stay abreast of industry best practices. - I value the emphasis on individual ownership and the encouragement to contribute novel solutions. This cultivates a sense of responsibility and facilitates substantial professional development. - The remote work policy affords flexibility and promotes a healthy work-life equilibrium. Furthermore, the company demonstrates a dedication to employee well-being and mental health. - The company fosters a positive and supportive work environment. The global offsites and designated downtime at the end of the year present invaluable opportunities for team building and employee recognition....Read More

As a relatively young organization, there's a natural expectation to wear multiple hats and contribute to various company goals. While this can be challenging at times, it's also an opportunity to gain valuable experiences and contribute significantly to the company's growth.

1. The only plus point here at this company is its competitive salary i.e. the salary which they offer is v good. 2. Second point is a bit skill development because when you are given a bit of challenging task daily then automatically you are pushing through it and you will learn new things like that.

Dislikes

1. No job security. They won't take much time to terminate you and replace you only in a month if they don't see brilliant work even if you gave your 100% . A small mistake and you are gone. They need to understand that a person needs time to understand the work and adjust in the environment. They must not judge a person so quickly only in a month or two. 2. Poor work life balance. I thought you only need to work 8 hours but the employees are working more than 12 hours a day and the manager could message or call you anytime at night or morning to complete the task. They need to understand that there is a person's family too and a private life too to whom also they need to give time. So there should be a work life balance here with strict timings for indian employees....Read More

- Great fit for those with an independent and get-shit-done mindset - Work revolves around tools and frameworks from the modern tech stack - Colleagues are super-amicable, everyone is ready to help - Personal favorite, WFH forever and yearly company off-site trips for all employees

Dislikes

- Have heard some mention job security but this might be the same story at any startup in a similar growth stage - Fully WFH but no monetary assistance to set up your workspace

5X is a fantastic place to work, with a collaborative team and challenging projects that promote growth. Leadership is approachable, and the culture encourages creativity and learning. The team is open, motivated and supportive, making collaboration a breeze. Plus, work-life balance has been great.

Dislikes

The onboarding process could be more streamlined to help new hires settle in faster

Quick to hire very quick on fire, quite a surfacial "good culture" company. Lot of favorite people and only they get to speak or even engage during meetings

Dislikes

Horrible work life balance, pathetic culture and poor clarity of leadership in terms of what they wanna do. Plus they just favour their favorites. Join only if you want a black star in your career journey. Clueless teams and superficial culture aren't gonna add much value

Flexible work options, great opportunities, huge growth. Hosting face-to-face events once or twice per year, have had an incredible experience with the people working there. Supportive leadership, strong team spirit.

Nothing for the moment, we are always trying our best to bring the best we can. I trust the team and the company's direction.

Nothing as of now ! Just working at a startup might require you to wear multiple hats at time but gives you the ability to improve and grow professionally.

There is nothing as such to like in this pathetic company, I would request all please don't go and join in such a organization that doesn't have work ethics

Dislikes

I am deeply disappointed with how my employment has been handled in 5X, To hire someone, onboard them, and end their employment within "One Week" citing "Lack of clarity" and the management decision is completely unacceptable. That kind of situation can be handled during the hiring process or maybe before hiring someone. It feels like I was brought in without the company even knowing what it needed. What makes it worse is that my manager "The Head of People & Culture" didn't even bother to set up a basic intro call with the leadership team, instead of accepting her mistake I was blamed for things that were not in my control. judging someone within a week without setting any clear expectations is beyond unreasonable. The so-called "Head of people & Culture" clearly has no understanding of people management and no work ethic. She does not even know about the PMS and any other aspect of HR, How can you call yourself a "Head People and Culture" Shame on you.... even the entire leadership Think before hire and fire someone, it not a joke...Read More
