Pros
Great product and working conditions
Cons
No work life balance and working culture
Pros
You get to work on a lot of different projects and you will probably learn 3 years worth of things in a year.
Cons
The management and culture is extremely toxic and you are expected to be available 24/7. There is no personal space and you are expected to work even on Sundays, which is at times fine but when you actually have something urgent and important to deal with, even then you are expected to be in office. The focus keeps on shifting and hence each and every project is implemented in a haphazard way that is prone to create more issues than it solves.
Pros
- Will get a chance to work in the latest cutting edge technologies - Will develop thick skin if you can survive more than 6 months - Good place to learn office politics, back stabbing and taking other's credit without doing much of the actual work - If you are planning to start your own company, this is a good place to first work and learn how to not run a company
Cons
- There is absolutely no comparison to how bad the culture here is. You think you'd worked in some high pressure situation startups prior or Amazon, EY, Tesla kind of generally infamous for low wok-life balance companies, so that you can handle Ola. But no, you can't, no one can. The culture here is so toxic and unethical that whatever negative news you'd heard about Ola, multiply it with 100 and still you will be unable to fathom the level of mismanagement and toxicity running in this company - No self loving, self confident, high agency, intelligent individual can handle the mismanagement, politics and blame games done by the people higher up the ladder here. So the only people left here are talentless, but good at playing politics and emotionally manipulative people - Only if you are good at treating people like slaves and work relationships as schemes to exploit others to climb up the corporate ladder, you will survive here - HR team here is the most useless, cowardly, talentless team ever - You will be asked to work on weekends and do night outs (you will be fired on spot, if you don't do it, even if you are sick from over work) and then that entire project will get canceled without even your work getting reviewed and will get assigned to the next task immediately, with again the cycle of over work and abuse repeating. And incase if the work goes to production and no breaks there, then your incompetent, 'yes man' manager will take all the credits. If something goes wrong, then all the abuses and blames will be showered on you. - Curse words and abusive languages are so normalized here that, even a fish market has better standards compared to Ola - The CTO is a visual designer (last time he designed something was his college website for a tech event), who has never written a single line of code in his life. So he lacks the understanding of engineering complexity. He thinks, changing/adding features are as simple as changing the design in photoshop. So you will be asked to deliver software features in impossible timeline. - Secretly running many unethical and law breaking practices here, with the full knowledge of CEO and HR team, to manipulate market stats, circumvent regulations, squeeze out profits and to claim totally baseless achievements
