Good place to start career.
Free food.
Just the over hyped brand name!
Dislikes
Culture and work environment is bad.
Notice period isn't fixed. After you dropped paper with them, they'll search for possibilities to throw you out within 2 weeks, if the work dependencies are completed from your end.
People don't behave professionally.
Says hybrid, but needs you in office all 5 days.
You can't take emergency leaves when you are sick.
You shouldn't look for kindness/compassion/empathy.
You nag and get your roles and responsibilities very clear by yourself, else they just blame you for not completing tasks which they didn't assign.
Poor communication.
No structure, roadmap for the near future.
They say market level pay. But pay you even less than the offer in your hand.
HR promises many things and takes their word back, after getting you joined to the firm.
I regret joining the company....Read More

People in freshworks is the reason most people stay back for other than the salary aspect.
Dislikes
The Freshworks "Kudumba" culture is slowly being demised to make way for American capitalism & usual MNC politics. Some of the people on the top have no clue of the reality & just want to keep firing in India & hiring in US in the name of efficiency.

Dislikes
Typical US culture of hire and fire
99% leadership is outside India - they take the final call
It's not an Indian company anymore
Pre IPO, this was a great company. Post IPO, disaster has happened
The founder - Girish is also nowhere to be found and might have resigned already

Overall work culture is good but most of team have lots of internal politics.
Dislikes
Lots of internal policies, they layoff bulk of people all of sudden even the top performers were laid off.
HR work on favour of higher management. No promotion. Zero job security. No career growth and scope of learning is less in most of team.

Work culture was good when Girish was the CEO.
Dislikes
After changing the CEO continuous and bulk firing is happening without giving any notice of employees.
In a single surprise email they deactivated employees from the work However the company revenue there is in a bad state.

No job security. They recently fired 660 employees- that's 13 per cent of the Total workforce even though the company made an annual profit higher than the previous year. Even though I was not affected, I feel embarassed that the higher management shows a lot of greed and being inconsiderate towards employees who work day and night to provide high values and top service to the clients.

There is no job security . Never expected that FW would laid off 660 employee in an hour without any prior notice though company were making the good profit. At the end your an employee how well you perform they will thrown you out just like tissue paper.

I am impacted by layoff on November 7. This is very untrustful with the employee to the employer.
Not only i am all over 660 people affected. Please understand from employee mindset and family situation and their talents.

Terrible org. No vision, strategy is for the PPT sake only.
Leaders are fake. They exploit you and then lay you off. Couldn’t give a -100000….rating for job security unfortunately. So, if job security is something that you are looking for, please do not consider joining Freshworks.
Hiring happens only in the US these days with 4 people getting hired for same/similar roles at very high salary and they don’t even get laid off....Read More
