WeMakeScholars Finance Officer Reviews

Likes

Guys believe me, I applied for atleast 300 jobs on Internshala before getting into WeMakeScholars. And I am someone who went to a decent college, has above 80s in all my acads, had an internship experience, but still after BBA, I wasn’t getting offered more than 15k for any meaningful job. Those offering higher than 15k were all night shifts or BPOs. It was kind of unbelievable for me when I got this job, I mean 22k, day shift job and a role where I know what I am doing and some good learnings, was the best possible combination....Read More

To all those who are looking for cons here, just go and start finding a job and you will know how you are ghosted by most legit companies and how you are followed up by only illegit job scammers. WeMakeScholars doesn’t have any cons. I have been working here since 8 months and it was one of the best career starts I could dream for.

Good company, Excellent colleagues, Good role, No politics. Salary is always credited on time and better than what market offers for freshers. You won’t even get in-hand starting salary of 22k in TCS or Wipro. And most important, company is pretty stable, without any investment, so bro, you won’t get an email saying “Laid off” unlike Byju’s or unacademy.

Dislikes

There is too much competition in FO role. There are perks also, but you should be someone who wants to work hard and grow.

Worked as a financial officer. On top of my 22k fixed salary, I got more than 8k incentives for most months. In season time, got more than 15k to 20k incentives per month. The harder you work, the more you get. It is a good job for freshers. I left due to other career goals.

Dislikes

It is a challenging role and company has a lot of rules.

The best thing I like about We Make Scholars is that my TL and also the management has given me freedom to work at my work pace and culture. As a fast growing start-up, we get a chance to learn quickly and the latest happenings in the market.

Dislikes

As we have a performance based incentives, at times, you keep chasing with full involvement in the assigned work. I got rewarded the best possible way and it's a good thing infact. But, sometimes it might become overwhelming. As a fresher, it's a learning curve and I should be able balance it.

I joined WeMakeScholars after 1.5 yrs of experience at 2 different mid-size start-ups. But believe me, WeMakeScholars is a very different experience. Company has a pretty positive vibe- lean hierarchy, very simple practices, rarely any politics, most people love the company. A good number of employees continue after 1 yr bond and I have spoken to a few who expressed missing the company after leaving, but at the same time, there are a few haters also, who are always negative about every policy, every change and there is one such person in my team. It is so hard to understand why is she cribbing about everything. To be honest, I haven’t seen such extremes in any company. I think if you are a doer, you would like it. If you are a lazy a** who knows who to get away without doing any work, don’t even think of joining....Read More

About an year ago, I joined as a financial officer and as we all know there is 1 yr commitment period. I know my thoughts are going to be opposite to many of you, but I feel working with a 1 yr bond, made me very focussed and kept me away from all the distractions of the world- CA, CMA, ACCA…. I have had a very fulfilling learning experience, compared to my friends, who spent this last 1 yr writing all the exams of the world, without actually focussing on any. Also, you can ask anyone at WeMakeScholars, the salary hike after 1 yr, is pretty good… it is worth staying for a few more years, after you get that hike. And the company is pretty stable and sorted in terms of funds, so there isn’t any risk of lay off, until unless you goof up....Read More

Dislikes

Rules are a little too strict, but I think it is required considering the fact that literally every new joinee is 20-21 yr old kid and we GenZs are hard to manage.

People here are very friendly. I had seizures in office once and I can tell you they took care of me like my family would have done at home. The CEO asked me everyday for the next 3-4 days if I am feeling fine.

Dislikes

Our machine coffee and tea is too sweet. Not able to follow my diet due to this. Please give black coffee option. Fellow team members, like this review if you agree with me.

Variety of work is the best thing in this role. I worked on SEO content, social media content, copywriting and many more things. So, I think this role is best called “Writer’s paradise”. I enjoy learning long form and short form content writing and not thinking of quitting anytime soon.

Dislikes

Variety of work again 😆 I mean someone who doesn’t like a change and likes to stick to their niche, for them- variety of work might be a nightmare. Luckily, I am not that someone. 😬

I am satisfied with my job profile as a financial officer. The role has a good mix of finance and sales. And it is a very respectable job, students and parents are really depending on you. Salary and incentives are good too. Not much pressure for targets, but rules are strict. Always got salary on time, unlike most of my friends whoare working in other laying off start-ups. The company's work culture is pretty friendly....Read More

I love being a part of this team. I directly report to our founder Damini. Working in this role for more than an year, I have understood one thing it is very different working in a start-up vs a large company. You have to learn to deal with new challenges, you have to freedom to change things, whereas my friends working in large companies are just following some routines, without even knowing the head and tail of their work. As there are no oldies in the office, there is very vibrant energy....Read More

Boss is very particular about somethings, so you have to extra careful on work but I have got to learn a lot from her scoldings and I believe all those things are the foundation of my career.

I am working in marketing profile for 1.5 yrs and I quite like it here. Team leader is good. Colleagues are friendly. Disciplinary rules are strict but I personally have no objections on the same. I love the mentorship and guidance from the Founders, as they give deep attention to all the departments. Some call it micromanagement but I believe I have learnt so many new things due to their attention to my work....Read More

Sometimes you are asked to learn some new softwares or skills that is beyond your job profile and it can become difficult to manage for non-tech savvy person like me.
