They are the Pay masters. Very aggressive approach. Founders are involved. Startup’s should learn from them. Really aggressive.

Salary - Excellent

Dislikes

No strategy. Always on pilot mode. Highly top to bottom driven company. CEO needs good people to build the company and should be ‘humane’ in approach. Insulting people for your pleasure makes you a small human being.

Salary on time. Good infrastructure.

Dislikes

Layoff policy. Company don't care about employees. They just hire during the season of business and once business done they layoff entire staff for next 06 months.Also they try to keep employees on third party rolls so that during layoffs that should not be in their count. Poorest culture in unacademy among all Ed-tech companies.

Poor work life balance, culture has gone to worse.. No clear path which the company wants to take, lack of clear thought process. Job security is a myth here - even the founder's word doesn't matter in this case.
