Yubi Director Architecture and Engineering Reviews

Likes

Having worked at other startups before joining here, i can confidently say this place stands out. My previous experiences were often marred by chaotic management and lack of direction, but here, the environment is much more structured as well as the hustle. One of the key differences is the support system. At my previous startup, resources were often limited, and guidance was hard to come by. Here, the necessary resources and support are readily available, enabling us to tackle projects efficiently and confidently. Moreover, the work culture here is far more inclusive and collaborative. In my previous role, there was a noticeable lack of team cohesion, but here teamwork and open communication are genuinely prioritized. This helps significantly boost productivity....Read More

Firstly, I'm happy working here as compared to many other comments I see here. The company culture is open, you can speak your mind even to the founder and chro in their 1:1. The team is good and driven. The infrastructure is okay. While it might not be as flashy as some other startups, it is functional and meets the basic needs. Most important is you don't have to worry if your salary will arrive on time + comp hikes/bonus getting paid out. Financially stable organization with good growth....Read More

Dislikes

Transparency in work priority/allocation and the slow process need to improve. Weekend calls are common and should be stopped.

Yubi has got a start and strong business foundation which is reflected in revenue numbers shared during town halls and slack. Not exactly as per plan but a good growth trajectory and they have controlled costs. They have even promised hikes/bonus this year as well as possible liquidity events in the new FY. While there are issues but most important is stability of org where even the best of startups have failed in recent times. Anyone working here and delivering results should feel confident in their long-term prospects with Yubi. Promotions and hikes are solely based on performance, not personal connections. So, your hard work is what counts the most for advancement. Good compensation....Read More

No WFH, long commute time to work even in a city like Chennai is taxing. Frequent team/project realignments. Weekend work whenever there is a go live. There is liberty to few who perform well even once which might feel like favoritism.

Work is detailed. Working on fintech projects that are demanding. Your work dedication speaks everything. You need to deliver results and that's all that matters here. Culture of this place is good. Benefits especially healthcare ones are much better and very attractive.

Dislikes

No work-life balance. Just work and work. Deadlines are strict to follow. Don't expect everyone to be always good to you. People's behaviour keeps on changing

Likes

Good company for growth and learning about new lending segments. There’s a lot to explore and analyze. I had direct access to leadership and helped them make decisions based on risk insights. It’s a fast-paced atmosphere, but I like that. The people here think long-term, not just chase short-term growth which aligns with my career goals.

Dislikes

The fintech space moves fast, so we are always expected to stay on top of trends which gets stressful sometimes.

Likes

The tech stack is new and learning is constant when it comes to projects. I have had opportunities to work on many big upgrades for platforms like Lending. The team values clean code and good design, and I have grown a lot as a developer.

Dislikes

Sprint planning is not realistic, lot of unplanned activities. Some leaders have no knowledge of code base so they just delegate No WFH

You can have a lasting connection with this company, but only if you keep up your good work, If you perform well like your superiors expect, there's nothing to stop you from growing here. company offers a reliable path for building a stable career I can work toward my career goals, learn new things, and be part of challenging projects.

Dislikes

The leave policy is poor. Getting leave approval is difficult, and you still get calls when on leave. You can only take 2 days off for religious or other occasions, with few holidays. Deadlines are too tight. There's no time for proper work, and features are undone due to unclear requirements. There's no learning or growth in my team. They mostly use Ruby on Rails, which might not suit everyone, but I didn't mind. The work was repetitive and didn't help me improve. I felt stuck and my skills were not growing....Read More

Hierarchy structure is proper employee policies are good ...... no problem faced. Workplace where you will discover your true potential. Your efforts and dedication will be counted, and you will get all that you deserve It has given me a clear understanding of my tasks. Plus, the training I have undergone have proven to be valuable for me, when I actually started working on real-time projects.

Dislikes

The culture is poor, and there are signs of dishonest practices. It's not worth my time speaking about them. Just avoid joining. The pay is low, with almost no raises or appraisals. Most people got no hike in 2023, and 2024 looks the same. Many doing the same work are paid very differently.

Likes

Exposure is good in terms of clients and technology. You will not be stuck doing the same thing for a long time. If you work hard, they make it clear that growth and advancement are possible here. And they support it with training and mentorship along the way. If you give results and working hard, they offer good support and guidance to improve and get promoted.

Dislikes

More preference is given to older employees which feels like favouritism is happening in office.

Likes

As a startup, the environment is challenging and has autonomy to operate. I get to manage my tasks around my own schedule. Helps a lot with delivering quality outputs. Leaders appreciate and actively acknowledge and praise hard work. Good Esops and comp as compared to the market. IPO plans should create good value in 2 yrs.

Dislikes

You need to get used to the hustle culture and handling pressure if you want to work in a startup. Frequent change in timelines disrupts plans. Too many meetings
