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.
Freshworks is a recreation of your college days!
You will have to move on after 3 or 4 years
The dynamics of the company will change quarter to quarter, you should be open to change at any time, heading into a corporate company setup
Dislikes
Change in leadership
Change in executing the strategy
Lack of product vision
One company wants to do everything and failing miserable
Appraisals and heirachy does not make any difference. The salary difference is huge.

1) Good food, Good people and supporting manager. You have a challange of picking up things on your own if you don't you will be lost, 2) Full transparency in product and processes!
3) flexible timings and leave policies
Dislikes
1) A little bit of politics and Partiality with female employees, equality factor is missing!
2) Change in processes is very frequent and disturbing
3) Salary is comparatively low, you cannot justify your work and it goes all to vein if you don't take initiatives, so why do we have management at first place ?

Team mates and comrades are really helpful and nice.
Dislikes
1. Constant changes in the process. Nothing is defined

Dislikes
Entire office runs from chennai, people working in Bangalore or Hyderabad have to literally dance to create visibility otherwise they think you are not working enough, too much politics in chennai office, mgt and direct Mgr’s practice favouritism. You have to be a puppet to be liked by the bosses. Strict 5 days in office job. Slow growth

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.

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.

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.

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 !
