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

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
- Salary - Good
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

I haven't worked in freshworks but the interview Sucks big time. You put all effort to crack the interview and the interviewer talks over the phone and not concentrating on what you say. Then they reject simply. Useless. High time the interview standard is taken a look. The one who interviewed me was not fit to take an interview.

Dislikes
Not a good company and team members are not supportive Our feedback is not heard Old employees are preferred New employees are not treated well Managers are biased towards old employees No support from team members. If you ask question in a group you would be made to feel that you are not worth. Team members old emoloyees will project in such a way that you cannot work on your own without their support. By that way they gain their credits by putting us down. Your work is not appreciated they tell it is normal work But when you do a mistake it is magnified Less recognition Recent layoffs is worst. Why did they hire so many people and then fire stating redundant roles. If it's redudant they should not have hired people in the first place. Management does not plan well which made people lose their jobs....Read More

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.

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.

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 !
