No dedicated process and also no pay scale! Work is not getting recognised and even if you work the credit is taken by others. To be honest their is no clarity in what needs to be done and to whom we should assign what work, in the name of startup culture they are simply confusing everyone.

The work culture is good, but this varies within departments. You will be given good work and immense learning, for sure. The company culture and team engagement are very good. I liked the no-leave policy in CRED.

Leadership decides a lot about your growth and progress in the company; it can be really biased at times. Good work is not the only thing you need to grow here.
