I work in the marketing discipline. We have teams who have clear-cut demarcation of roles and responsibilities. People are kind and supportive to each other

Dislikes

At Freshworks, all the roles above Director are mostly based out of the US. Your growth is stagnated after a point. People in the US come and leave with an average tenure of 2 years. They will vest their RSU and leave it to a different SaaS-based company. Every leader will come and have his style of operations. If you are stuck witha bad manager, your life is hell. Lot of politics at work, with every manager having his own set of favorite employees....Read More

The culture, latest tech stack and possibility of IJP

Some very senior folks recruited did not have necessary experience or culture fit which resulted in some not so good choices for the teams.

Flexible working hours

Dislikes

Lately there has been frequent org rearrangements. Managers are never satisfied. Team changes are with immediate effect and quarter reviews are reduced. Managers are more focussed on delivering unattainable ETAs. Career growth wise feels like we are stagnant. All this can vary depending on the team you are in and how your manager is.

Freshworks is a recreation of your college days! You will have to move on after 3 or 4 years The dynamics of the company will change quarter to quarter, you should be open to change at any time, heading into a corporate company setup

Dislikes

Change in leadership Change in executing the strategy Lack of product vision One company wants to do everything and failing miserable Appraisals and heirachy does not make any difference. The salary difference is huge.

It used to be an employee friendly company.

Dislikes

Management is full of non Indian folks that keeps changing every quarter or a year. No clarity and unreasonable pressure.

Decent work-life balance, and people are understanding of this.

Dislikes

Language barrier is there. If you are at Chennai office specially at IC to middle management level, people tend use Tamil, which is a really restrictive thing for a company trying to grow internationally and restricts the talent pool the company could be hiring from.

1) Good food, Good people and supporting manager. You have a challange of picking up things on your own if you don't you will be lost, 2) Full transparency in product and processes! 3) flexible timings and leave policies

Dislikes

1) A little bit of politics and Partiality with female employees, equality factor is missing! 2) Change in processes is very frequent and disturbing 3) Salary is comparatively low, you cannot justify your work and it goes all to vein if you don't take initiatives, so why do we have management at first place ?
