Pros

No pros, they’re missing payroll.

Cons

There are no layers, the CEO is micromanaging every aspect of the business.. He has no respect or idea how professional sales organizations run.. instead he will require you to provide weekly activity logs and a weekly calls to review your activities.. And dress you down in front of the whole team.. if you disagree with an approach or have a point of view different than his he will fire you.. This is a toxic work environment that starts at the top.. if you are a salesperson, I strongly suggest you run away from this company..

Pros

They have the best salary in the Industry. They pay more than McKinsey/BCG/Bain. Highest among the Indian service providers for any technical positions. They pay well above the industry standards at all levels (comparable to top Tech companies). I even heard the entry level folks getting an offer of more than $200k-250k per year (You can guess how much they pay for experienced folks). Some senior folks were earning $1m-$2m per year. They also provide unlimited PTO (however it might not be official and you might have to negotiate). All the benefits are negotiable since its a very small company. I was able to get a 15% 401k match, in addition to unlimited PTOs.

Cons

They are known to lowball offers. Up to you to negotiate your pay. There is a lot of micromanagement at every level, which gets exhausting really quickly. I hope they keep up the compensation structure, else you might feel discouraged that your peers are earning 100-200% more than you (which happened with me). Work life balance is poor since there are early morning and late night meetings (with offshore) every day.
