Pros

- Very fast growth - A few great people to learn from - Huge Salary I joined from failed ecommerce startup at salary hike of 150% but realized it is mistake to run after money.

Cons

- No work life balance. You have to work on weekends and on national holidays - Even after all this work, there is very little appreciation - Many times employees are scolded by management to make fun of us. - Giving high salary is always used as a reason to make sure you work on weekends and many times you work 2-3 days continuously. People in top management in India are so incompetent and are just trying to survive in the hope of a buyout. The HR keeps track of the average number of hours spent in the office by each employee and shares it publicly.

Thank you for your feedback. As you point out, we're growing very fast, which is good news, but it creates a challenge that we're not able to hire top talent at the same pace to support our customer growth, resulting in higher workload for the entire company (incl. engineering). We appreciate your hard work - its you and 170+ employees that are making 20,000+ BirdEye customers happy everyday. Our leadership team is committed to creating a respectful and fun environment for all employees. Per your suggestion, I'd love to sit down 1:1 with you to discuss ideas - please coordinate through Annie (annie@birdeye.com). Naveen
