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.

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.

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 !
