Pros

1. Hybrid work setup 2. ⁠lunch offered in office 3. Flexible hours Honestly, nothing else.

Cons

1. There is very little strategic clarity, and direction keeps changing far too often. This is probably the clearest sign of why the company has been going downhill over the last few of years. 2. Marketing priorities and brand positioning shift every few weeks, but the pressure to deliver leads and pipeline remains constant. 3. Marketing leadership often appeared to lack a strong understanding of the function. Strategic decisions felt driven more by generic AI-generated recommendations than by market context, customer insights, or marketing expertise. 4. As a result, there was very little room for people with domain expertise to contribute. Inputs from specialists were frequently overridden by generic AI suggestions, even when they did not fit the business or product. 5. Leadership does not seem to take enough accountability for unclear strategy or changing goalposts. When outcomes do not come immediately, the blame gets pushed down to teams. 6. Layoffs were handled very poorly. Entire teams across marketing, content, SEO, and other departments were let go with little to no explanation. Many were not given a proper chance to ask questions or understand the reason.

Pros

Work from home. Office timings are flexible. Nothing else.

Cons

Not sure why the company is intentionally listening to a CMO with zero marketing experience and who outsources his thinking to Claude. The founders are blind to this, and the company pivots their positioning every two weeks. A project that is approved today gets axed the next week- or the people involved in it get fired. HR isn't bothered about the declining culture either.

Pros

1. Hybrid work setup Honestly, nothing else.

Cons

The company is on the decline. No growth in the last 2 years. And the reasons are same as why you shouldn’t join them - 1. The CGO has been into the marketing domain for just 8months. He is a CA turned marketer. Doesn’t understand anything about marketing but operates based on Claude’s suggestions. 2. No space for subject matter experts to add value. Most of it is just overridden by Claude suggestions which are out of business context. 3. The founders seem to be blind towards the incompetence of the CGO. They operate from the U.S. and just want a parrot to run the show for them in India. Basically keep complete control with them and have a mouth piece here in India. 4. No vision or plans. They hired a solid team of marketers in the last 5-6 months and let most of them go. Someone as new as hired 2 months back in a critical position was let gone. Poor planning all along.
