Godot Media Content Writer Reviews

The only thing I liked about working here was being able to leave office for the day at 5:30, if I had finished all my work by that time. A group of good people who worked with me also made the job bearable.

It's a flat organisation where your career growth will stagnate in about a year or and a half. The salary is poor and appraisal system is a joke. The bosses are very mean and don't hesitate in letting anyone who asks for a raise go. I also know of colleagues who have worked there for two or three years without a single raise. Some left in despair. Exit from the company is as unceremonious as it can be, with the bosses threating you with negative consequences if you share the information of your leaving the company with anyone until your very last day at work. They don't provide references to employees who quit as well. So if your next job needs one, you're on your own. You'll be punished for being good at what you do by having difficult work dumped on your head without any significant difference in compensation. There's a lot of favouritism at play as well and the situation has gotten outright toxic now that the bosses handle the business from overseas. Certain employees are now the "eyes and ears" of the bosses and they misuse the position with much fun. Avoid the place. Please. I don't know one person who is happy there except the two or three who went on to become the 'eyes' and 'ears'....Read More

The work is super hectic if you're good at your job. They take any type of project, including homeworks of spoilt US kids, PhD theses, or making up new nursery rhymes; I've done it all. Would have been worth it if the compensation was good. But it wasn't.

I have been working at Godot Media for over 2 years as a Content Writer. The team is extremely pleasant and easy to work with - polite, amicable environment. The work process is pretty standard and consistent. You are allocated tasks/activities that are only yours to handle. The instructions given from clients, project managers etc. is also direct and easy to understand. During my time working here, I have not had any issues with any colleague or team member - team building and bonding is pretty strong at Godot so if that is something you are looking for in a company, this is the place for you! Being a flat structure organization, you get to work and be in communication directly with the top level, which is a great learning opportunity, and this structure also helps you grow as you can dive into different types of projects....Read More

I guess the only thing I can say is that during peak order months, it can get a bit challenging to manage writing for multiple projects - but nothing that isn't manageable or impossible. You might get tired but isn't that part of any job?

The overall experience of working in this company has been really good so far. The people are approachable and friendly. Work load has been manageable. They have never exceeded the maximum word limit per day, and in case of any problems in completing a task, they are usually quite accomodating. As a work-from-home employee, I find the working hours quite flexible, unless there is urgent work to submit. Also, lucky to have a manager who is extremely helpful and amiable. Leaves are easily approved when you need any. Diverse projects keep coming in, so it is a good learning opportunity for newbies....Read More

Haven't found anything to dislike really. I have had a very smooth journey with the company so far. Just a few things that could make the work experience even better - For work from home employees, a little more communication would be helpful. Maybe a quarterly review of our performance, discussing all the positives and negatives could help us improve our work. Not sure about the appraisal policies as couldn't see any documented method of appraisal. Knowing that there is an opportunity for growth in my career here would be a little more motivating....Read More

The company is very accommodating of employees' needs. Leaves are granted without question. Work from home option available.

Dislikes

Lack of communication, especially from top to bottom. No written policies about leave, deadlines, work hours etc. seem to exist. Rules keep changing now and then. Work from home employees are kept in the dark about most things. Flexibility is promised, but rarely offered. I was hired saying I would be given 24 hours to complete daily assignments. However, in reality, I was delivering projects on the same day 90% of the time....Read More

I worked as a Content Writer. Work wasn't challenging at all and was quite easy. However, after a point, it did get monotonous and boring.

Work from home Easy leave approval

Dislikes

Poor guidance to newbies or say, anyone uninformed WFH writers Unprofessional non-responsive team leads Only negative comments sent, no positive feedback on any work Work deligated irrespective of the education or exp background, If you are from a technical background and you are given a medical topic, hook or crook, you must write no benefits of any kind writers are never in the loop about anything, they are just people who sit at home to earn some pocket money, whom these people can boss over. They are not involved in anything like team outing or even informed of any changes that have happened in the company. Team lead opinion is always right, if the team lead is non-responsive, they are busy. If writers are non-responsive, they are arrogant This company is run by kids who don't know what professionalism means. The management structure looks flat, but it isn't. Some of them want to show that they are the boss. They are extremely rude, arrogant, and demanding. They do not respect others as colleagues....Read More
