Poor management

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented colleagues, exposure to different departments, 2 day WFO policy.

Cons

My main issues with this company are: 1) yearly hikes are around 5-10% on top of the very entry level salaries. They also cut bonuses when they feel like. Salaries are low compared to the workload which keeps increasing with tenure. 2) There are hardly any trainings or talent development for people in their entry level positions. Most people stay in the same role for 3-6 years. 3) Highly apathetic upper management - not receptive to feedback or struggles of the team. 4) Hardly any diversity in the pune office. Upper management are all men (publishing industry things?!) while editorial dept. has a majority of women. Mostly local punekars.

Good company but pays very little compared to the market standard.

Cons

The tech stack is not good. They use the rubbish Kotlin http4k framework for the backend.
