The company pays well, there is no doubt in that. We get Unlimited PTO, you can WFH or come in late on short notices (Depending on Manager's Approval). All in all, it does offer some leisure which is not common at all in any other company in Pakistan.
Minpunten
I'm not sure where to start from. The company it self is very good with a very good aim as well, but its the people - especially in the upper management - who are stopping this company from excelling. The CEO and few of his 'favorites' in the company are the most ego-istically adamant folks who just can't bear constructive criticism. They consider themselves as always being right, anyone who tries to raise their voice is most of the times never heard or their feedback is neglected by countering it with baseless arguments. The points they give are nothing but the escape from every argument. The Engineering Heads making every product call, over-ruling decisions by the actual Product Managers just because they are senior enough and don't feel that this is right, from upper management making every UI/UX calls without any argument and just on the basis of "I don't like this" and upper management egoistically overruling everything that their sub-ordinates and cross team members propose is what brings real toxicity to the organization. The CEO says he takes prides in the Glassdoor rating - which has drastically improved over last 2 weeks but guess what? The upper management and CEO couldn't bear the fact and face the ratings and feedback that was there originally. They literally played the victim and very emphatically asked for reviews and feedback on Glassdoor by employees, because it was hurting their 'image' and reducing the chances of their upcoming funding rounds. Theoretically, they never forced to put in positive reviews, but the playing of victim card will obviously make overly enthusiastic employees to write in feedback that is no where close to being true. The debate of lack of work life balance and fake urgencies with fake promotions is already too much discussed in other reviews. The company has been operational for last 5 years, yet claims to be a startup. It could have grown massively, if only the CEO actually listened to the feedback rather than bringing in his ego. The CEO and his favorites don't have what it takes to listen to a constructive feedback. What it takes to believe that they don't no it all. What it takes to believe that you can be wrong. What it takes to believe that others can be better than you at certain things. The only team I've seen thrive in this company is the AI team. There are baseless politics and toxicity ingrained into every other team. Why? the so called favorites have no involvement in the AI team. The person leading the AI team is by far the most capable, humble and hard-working person in the entire organization. Apart from AI team, every team that is touched by the upper management and the VPs and the Heads, fail to deliver, thrive and basically survive due to their politics. The company is everything a company shouldn't be. Majority of the upper management people are everything a person in their position shouldn't be. The amount of toxicity you force down the throats of people is the only reason the company fails to retain good people. People who try to bring a change, make some impact are never heard and they either leave due to frustration or learn to stay quiet because no one listens here.
