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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 !
