E2E Networks Response
11yThank you for very candid and valuable feedback, love the effort you have made to list out the pros :-)
1. This is an excellent suggestion. We'll try to implement this in some sort of monthly all hands calls. Unfortunately due to the shift nature of work at E2E some of the team members would miss that.
2. Please feel free to reach out to me regarding financial numbers directly :-). More than happy to share the same.
3. ESOPs would come through as promised. While the board approvals are required. As a profit making company which beats the numbers quarter after quarter there is no denying the E2E'ers whatever approvals we want from the board which are good for the shareholders/investors of the company eventually in the enlightened self-interest. Bad Karma would kill any startup including us, so please be assured about this more than anything else.
4. Please reach out to Masood he is acting as a part-time HR manager for now until we establish a fulltime HR desk. And just so you know he can definitely standup for fairness.
5. We are trying to aggressively hire and expand the team to keep up with our growth and while we do have a 6 day work week we are trying to balance it out with a larger than industry average bundle of privilege+casual+sick leaves. In due course we'll get there.
Regarding "Cons":-
1. We keep rationalizing our salary structures to align with industry standards and over medium term we intend to pay > market salaries. If you feel underpaid feel free to discuss this with your reporting manager. We can certainly remove any imbalances on an immediate basis or provide guidance in terms of when to expect the next raise.
2. Yes indeed that is true. There are good reasons to keep it this way but I would like to encourage all team members to please feel free to implement new things and evangelize within the team the newer solutions you have thought through and convince a customer or two to test it out with the help of sales+technical account managers.
3. See point 5 above.
4. Okay it seems that the pendulum has swung too far here, please feel free to point out specific instances to me and the sales team members keeping your reporting manager in the loop. We should certainly not be doing this, we remain committed to under-promising and over-delivering. While we value customers, we absolutely value the opinion of our own team members over and above that of customers.
