Everything changed upside down now! Life sucks at work! Childish managers who hold grudges, you feel like you are in a school environment soon. Micromanagement at core

Working at Freshworks as a remote full-time employee can be quite rewarding. They emphasize a vibrant, collaborative culture even in remote setups, often providing great support, resources, and tools for efficient remote work

Conserved Teams and Team Members. Lake of KTs or Unstructured knowledge transfer. Lack of confidence in new people. They are focused on a few Key and old people. Context switching is very high.

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.

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

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.

Culture of the company is really great providing the delicious food and maintaining healthy work environment is fabulous

Dislikes

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

Some bit of old charm still left, a few old timers left are holding things together in India.

Dislikes

It has completely lost its way and definitively moving towards making India a back office. All Indian leaders are fired and leadership hiring is happening in US/Europe. Not so subtle racism is prevalent and Indians are looked down upon - how ironic as it was a company started in India !
