Pros
01. Even if the return on investment (ROI) doesn't match, your hard work will be recognized, and you'll likely be transitioned to another role or team where you can leverage your skillsets. The company prioritizes hiring for cultural fit rather than specific roles. 02. Having worked closely with the management, I've had firsthand experiences with key individuals: Shobhit Banga (Co-founder) exemplifies exceptional passion and dedication. He readily spends time with even new interns, guiding them on how to make the most of their opportunities at Josh Talks. Biased, but he's the best of all. Surpiya Paul (CEO) is remarkably empathetic. Despite her numerous responsibilities, she ensures that everyone feels heard and valued. She is genuinely one of the sweetest and most approachable leaders I've encountered. Dev Chaudhry (Head, Josh Talks) may seem intimidating, but his deep understanding of the company's users and viewers is unparalleled. He is incredibly knowledgeable and well-read. Harsh Gupta (Head, Product) brings humor and camaraderie to the workplace. His presence adds vibrancy and positivity to the company culture :) Varun Khera (Head, Partnerships) may appear intimidating initially, but he provided me with invaluable opportunities for learning and growth within a new division. 03. Josh Talks is a place that fosters personal and professional growth. While it may not be a place for complacency, especially early in one's career, it offers the chance to transform one's life and outlook significantly.
