Pocket FM Product Manager Reviews

Likes

In the beginning it felt like a good place to be at. Soon enough I understood its a fraudulent company

Dislikes

Terrible work culture No work life balance Insecure founders and this abusive culture permeates down to the lowest managerial level. Very exploitative financially and work wise. They look for loopholes in Indian labor laws to exploit you and use sheer intimidation to silence you. They had one or two shows that saw some mild success and on the basis of that they have been cheating and defrauding investors and audience alike. They treat employees like garbage and when you try to stand up for your dignity they will boycott you and encourage your colleagues to throw you under the bus for no rhyme or reason....Read More

I do my breakfast luch and dinner with family, i can play with my dog, i live with my family so Work from Home is the biggest advantage tgat company gives to ots employees. Secondly, managers listen to ideas, and if they find the idea worth, it will be applied and you will be appreciated for that.

Dislikes

The culture is a bit vague, Pocket FM seems be gradually shifting from a startup to a full blown corporate, hence one can see a lot of things changing on day to day basis. Alot of ambiguity and lack of trust on you, all the time you will be feeling as if something or the other is coming for you. Micromanagement is at its peak, not seen a company where a AVP level person inquires and distrusts an executive level employee in such details. Last but not the least, company has IITians fetish, it makes you feel that if you are not an IITian you may have worked in the industry for many years but your worth is questionable. Main product of the company is a piece of content in Audio format, but at the end an IITian will have the power to take decisions that too on creative level, which is fine but when you know the better ways to do it, nobody will ask you because you dont hold an IIT degree....Read More

It was work from home, and the workload was do-able

Dislikes

The content we got to work with was lousy and horrible and i'm not even proud of working on it. The team lead has poor leadership values and skills. The associates and management aren't supportive. Poor salary, and on top of that they don't pay on time.

that it is work form home

Dislikes

From my personal experience, as well as that of my colleagues, Pocket FM has a tendency to terminate employees without any prior notice or clear reason. It was unsettling to face this lack of transparency, which affected not only job security but also morale within the team.
