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

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.

The salary, the work culture and learnings were great. Also, great leaders like Roman Saini, Jagnoor Singh, Vivek Sinha, Gaurav Munjal.

Dislikes

Recruitment of the upper management hasn't been good. Need to hire more capable hands who can be the leader and drive their teams.

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.

Probably the only good thing was their salary offering to am extent (not great but considerable to market standards)

Dislikes

The culture at Unacademy is probably one of the worst I've come across in 10 years of my experience. Lack of clarity at the CxO level, random projects undertaken in a whim. Not considerate towards emoployees

Hi, I'm here to share a part of my journey from the past 12 years in my career, I started from a package of 3.6LPA in 2013 at iGate and due to a few bad decisions on my career and worthless advices from people who are always pessimistic about the industry, I switched two companies and landed in a start-up with 2.4LPA. I worked hard nearly 8-16hrs a day single handed researched, built and managed an entire vertical of a project for 8 years. When the company didn't value my contribution and thought I was too young to become a manager, I had a package of 6LPA and Senior developer in designation. I switched for obvious reasons to a TL role for 12LPA and now at the same company I'm a TPM on the basis of my contribution with 48LPA as a fixed component. I feel outclassed in terms of having a fancy CV with certifications, I feel like CTC has hit a peak with 48LPA being fixed and nearly 40% in Variable. Most companies are hesitant to hire me because of this. What should be my next move?
