WeMakeScholars Financial Advisor Reviews

Likes

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.

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 relocated to Hyderabad to join wemakescholars. Of course, the starting salary of 22k was tight when you are the sole earner in the family and you have to send minimum 10k back home for your parents survival needs. I worked hard, in fact, very hard for one year and when it came to my retention, Arjun and Kshitij, offered me a good hike almost 12k on my base pay. I am earning well now and able to send around 15k home and still living a decent bachelor’s life in hyderabad....Read More

As it is a start-up, there is a good amount of work. You cannot have that MNC routine of Login, tea break, lunch break, smoke break, tea break and logout. There is actual work here and which demands a little extra hard work. So, not for cool yo-yo guys.

I worked here for 1.5 yrs and now working in Bengaluru, as my family had to shift. I can see how in my current company how they treat freshers, literally no meaningful role and no respect. But because WeMakeScholars is made of freshers with atleast 90% having their first job at WeMakeScholars, they really value freshers. And they literally taught every damn thing like how to even write an email subject, without showing me low. Join here, for the best start of your career....Read More

My role was good. Detailed training was given on banks products and screening criteria. Daily job required a lot of calling. But many students prefer whatsapp and email conversion, so I didn’t had to call them regularly. Students put a lot of trust on us, so we have to make sure we help them get the best loan. Sales is involved in this role, as we have to follow-up on students. Many students are little chilled out, so we have to more serious than them, otherwise in the end they blame their financial officer if their loan gets delayed....Read More

I worked for 1 yr as a financial officer at WMS. Made an impact in so many lives and got appreciation from so many happy students and parents. One of my student travelled 500 kms from another state to Hyderabad, to meet me, a few days before his flight to US, this is what we call a satisfying job.

Dislikes

Nothing. I liked the job overall.
