Good place to work with timely salary - Graphic Designer Affle Employee Review

None that I can think of

I was a senior Senior Sales Executive at Jampp and initially enjoyed a positive work environment (pre acquisition). Initially, after Affle acquired us, things seemed okay—they stayed out of our way as long as the numbers were good. But everything dramatically changed after the tech industry crisis in late 2022. Out of nowhere, they fired our founders without any explanation and replaced them with their own people - CRO Anuj Kumar and CTO Charles Yong. These new leaders have no clue about technology sales. They genuinely think that revenue can be increased by just “spending more time with clients,” which shows their total lack of understanding. After the founders were gone, they started promising bonuses to keep people from leaving, clearly terrified of a mass exodus. Empty promises - only to be followed by layoffs of some of the very people promised bonuses. Much of this directly involved their CEO Anuj Khanna - he’s obsessed with micromanaging every little detail, creating a stifling and unproductive work environment. On the surface, the company appears to be doing well in the stock market, but that’s only because they keep buying companies and their revenue. Their organic growth is completely stagnant. They’re masking their lack of true growth by acquisitions rather than innovation or improvement. They constantly make promises they don’t keep, and they fire people without providing the appropriate compensation. This company is a sinking ship. Avoid at all costs.

They have acquired some decent companies but the good people there don't last long. Everything Affle touches, Affle ruins.

There are so many bad things about Affle that it is hard to summarize. Overall, it's a badly managed business that has been able to miraculously show good performance over the years by buying other companies or striking last minute deals to add revenue. Their management has virtually remained the same since the beginning, with Anuj Khanna as their CEO and a group of Yes Men around him that are absolutely terrified of him . Anuj is a dangerous narcissist who believes his own lies and truly thinks he is the Amitabh Bachchan of the corporate world. He says openly he is better than everyone else at any job in the company. Ask him, he'll tell you. Affle's main product "Maas" is basically a no technology mobile affiliate network riddled with intermediaries. Their CEO talks proudly about their culture but there is no culture whatsoever. HR and culture are a joke, everything is improvised and done last minute. In fact they force people to write reviews on Glassdoor, sometimes they even write them for you. Some of their top managers are unprepared and dishonest, they do not own up to mistakes and they betray people in their teams to save face. If you ask around technolgoy entrepreneurs in India you will find out what a terrible reputation Affle and its founder has. Do your homework. Nobody that values their dignity and mental health should work in that company.
