Pros

Since there are only 5 employees in the company, there's lot of work for an individual to do and that makes for a good work experience in a short period of time.

Cons

First of all nearly all the good reviews here are fake, they make you write good reviews on glassdoor while you're working at inbound mantra. I did as well (titled: good company with great opportunities). All the cons of this organisation are releted to the founder. 1. There is no management in the company as such. It's just the founder. 2. The founder doesn't values or honors any cluases of the appointment letter. He does not understand or honor labor laws of the country as well. Wants to act as dictator, disrespects his employes and treats them as slave labor. 3. The founder doesn't accept the resignation letter if you want to leave the company and thinks it is legal to do so. He won't respond to resignation discussions on official emails and tries to stall the official processes. After ample time has passed since resignation he replies with threatening email asking the employee to return back to work and for achieving that he even makes false accusations on the employee like stealing company's assets without any basis or proof. 4. He has erratic mood swings throughout the day and all the employees have to adjust their day according to his mood. 5.There is no system for employee management and no process and procedures are followed. It's a one man rule territory. 6. There are constant comparisons made among employees. The founder doesn't know how to lead a team at all. Rules and processes are of different intensity for different employees. The list goes on...

Pros

You get to learn a lot here, especially about how real client work happens. The company has its own niche and gets decent clients, so you understand how business actually works. The work is fast-paced, which helps you gain experience quickly. Salary is usually on time.

Cons

The main problem is the way things are managed. The founder knows the work, but the way he talks and puts pressure is often too harsh. It makes the environment stressful. Pressure is there all the time, even when it’s not really needed. Work-life balance is not good. Long hours and constant pressure can make you feel tired mentally. There is not much space to take a break, even when work gets heavy. All we can say micromanagement and huge gap between understanding of employees and founder. Founder doing right things in all wrong manner (that what employees perceives)
