WeMakeScholars HR Recruiter Reviews

Likes

I did engineering because my cousin was doing it. I took up the job as a financial Officer because the pay was good and the company had good reviews. But I still don’t know what I want to make my career in. At the beginning of career, we always want to try our hands on various skills, because we don’t know what’s our calling. That’swhat I love about wemakescholars. The opportunity to switch departments, not initially, but once you do a year as an FO. I was part of the loan team for the first year and then as per the request in retention meeting, I was allowed to get into marketing and partnerships role, which has taught me very different and new skills. Now, I know what are the things I am good at and what should I do my MBA in....Read More

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

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.

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

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.
