You'll get the salary on time.

The salary that you get on time doesn't reflect your hard work or the value you bring, it depends on how good you are at making your line manager give you the highest rating. (The more you boast about the work which you might not have done brings in more salary and respect). Everything that you expect from a proper product company is lacking here.
The company headquarters is in London. Voila, get ready to be treated as peasants if someone from the UK visits the office. They'll be treated as lords, while employees from India are treated as use and throw. There is a separate wing called "The Admin" to specially take care of the people from the UK.
Apart from the worst politics in the office, the company has a strict work-from-office policy (where you can't choose which office to work from), and the space is so small for the employees that you have to find a new place every single day (this is improving nowadays as they are firing people in huge batches). If you ask for Work From Home, they'll force you to take a leave. But people who have a good rapport with the so-called, Senior Leadership Team, they'll be granted weeks of Work From Home.
The pantry won't even fit 1/5th of the employees, people should eat in batches as there is no space. Neither they increase office space nor do they grant permission for Work From Home. As a bonus, there is something called Quarterly Awards, god that must be a joke. I agree a few people get awards based on the value they create, but the majority of the awards go to the people who create that "I am working very hard" kind of impression with the Senior Team (They usually don't work, I know it because they could barely solve any problem that falls under their designation). There are people designated as Data Science Leads, who barely know anything technical.
ClaudeAI/ChatGPT has become a weapon for these people who don't even know anything about Data Science but sit in the highest position in the hierarchy to dictate to the people on the lower hierarchy, the same sentences GPT gives you on any topic. They seem very knowledgeable, they speak of things that you've never heard but in reality, they lack everything. For the past 1 year, management has hired people who are clearly unfit for leadership roles and let them rule and judge the people who are under them.
The management expects people to work on things outside of their domain, for example a data scientist would be expected to do software engineering, sometimes frontend engineering too. If you say no to the work, first you'll be offboarded from the working portfolio or project, eventually, you'll be fired from the company (I have seen this happen to my colleague)
They fire people like hell, they'll ask someone in the middle of the day to leave with their laptop on their desk and not come to the office the next day. There is something called a notice period which they clearly violate. There is no chance for you to say anything against them. They announce the news of your firing as if they are doing an eternal favor for you.
They send people to London, again those who have that "I am working very hard" kind of impression. Not those people who actually sit overtime to improve any feature in the product or the person who actually works weekends without any compensation.
The Job of the leadership is to hire good people, who create intangible value for the company and the employees. Always remember, a person might have 26 Years of experience, but might not have that leadership qualities in him to drive the company to success or create value for the employees to train them. A person might just have 12 years of experience but can create a significant impact on the company. People here hire randomly without any proper capability check and culture check.
I agree that there are a lot of people who have those capabilities and were hired based on them, but I feel none of them are at that leadership level which is very vital. God, there are a ton of things out there, that I can't list because I am exhausted of thinking these things. Some person in the C-level position has lashed out in the office for writing the "Accurate Bad" reviews on Ambition Box and Glassdoor. That's the state of this company, Period.
The company is trying to transform into a Product Operating Model, as stated in the book Transformed by Marty Cagan. I strongly sense that this might not happen at all. Leadership is hired very badly.
I know many others might have had a completely different experience, but this is truly what I have experienced. Also, there is a huge gender parity in the office, you know which gender is treated better than another, no need to mention.
If someone from the Admin or Leadership is reading this, please replace the coffee machines with something better, we deserve some good coffee at least. Also, swap those paper cups with those mugs that you offer to the UK "lords".
P.S: Everything I have mentioned above is absolutely true and doesn't simply imply my opinions on the company....Read More
