Pros

It's a lala company. The HR team introduced a lot of employee-friendly policies when they underwent a Great Place to Work assessment. However, once they obtained the 'Great Place to Work' badge, they revoked all the policies in the name of frugality, despite claiming to have a five-year runway for the past year.

Cons

- This org is Good for nothing. - Work-life balance is non-existent. - The leadership has determined that late-night deployments are the sole option. - Whenever there's an issue, they simply wake you up by saying 'call pe aaja,' showcasing the level of mutual respect you can expect. - Informal Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) serve as a means of discreetly terminating employees, potentially to mask their erroneous hiring decisions. Consequently, many individuals abruptly leave or cite health reasons to resign from the organisation.

Pros

Not many things are pros TBH

Cons

- The CEO is too full of himself. He is only trying to prove to the world that he is better than the others. Internally, his reputation is that of a crybaby and a CHILD.. he just randomly decided to exit all slack groups one day and one day he just takes control of everything happening at coinswitch. this leads to a lot of flux and no focussed work happening for years. I dont remember when we built something really useful, rather than just copy (oh sorry "inspire") from other companies and people -The childishness of the CEO has led to all major org leaders moving out and now there is no HR leader, no Product leader and his co-founders are just puppets nodding at everything he says.. so you are stuck in a place of chaos - No hike this year, while the company has continued to improve its topline and bottom line. We worked through the nights to get this done and zero appreciation for anything we did.

Staying for long can be injurious to health

Pros

- There is almost no tech leadership left, and whatever 2 directors left are poor engineers and worse leaders so you can fool around easily without contributing anything. - Good for HR, Compliance, Legal and support as it is just a hollow structure with minimal invested users.

Cons

- No good talent survives for even a few months. Either they resign or are fired because of one reason or the other, the crux is incompetent leaders feel insecure because of smart people. Have seen people disappear within days across the spectrum from SDE-1s to VPs in the last few years. - All their new products have miserably failed even after trying for years and existing crypto products have non-monetizable users with hardly a few thousand users who invest, and CEO is happy singing 20Mil users song. - Their practices might be shady, as have seen people working on key projects ranging from CFO to VPs to devs disappear—regular raids and hiding phone bags, during them by CXOs. - The CEO treats people like nothing and pours frustration of failed products on whatever incompetent product team left. The stature of the CTO and COO is worse than that of devs or analysts. - Whatever Engineering leadership left is a big joke. Only quality they have is buttering and writing threads on Slack 24 hrs. No competent guy is willing to join them anymore due to toxic culture and no learning. Product and Tech guys should avoid joining at all costs. - The correct valuation might not be 1/10th so esops are worthless.
