Pros

The compensation was market oriented as per Pakistan.

Cons

One of the worst places I've worked at. I was in the Islamabad office in Pakistan. I think most people in the US won't even know about the office since they have explicitly hidden the office from their clients, and have given pseudo fake names to the workforce that works in the Islamabad office. They regularly lie to the clients on the phone while doing Sales, and the workforce in Islamabad while speaking to KeepTruckin clients claim they are sitting in California. A lot of people are alright with it, but when I was at the office, I felt I was working for a company that lies blatantly, and so doesn't believe in a system of business that is ethically sound. There are other pressing issues in the office in Islamabad. It stinks of an unprofessional workforce, bullying managers, and a culture in which favoritism thrives; most people are hired through a reference based system. If you are my best friend, I can easily get you in. The management is absolutely awful. They have promoted people who don't hesitate to threaten the entire team in meetings. We were once told in a meeting to either agree to what the management wants to bring, or feel free to get lost the door.

Pros

The people are the strongest part of the company. I’ve worked with talented, supportive teammates across product, sales, marketing, and design who genuinely care about solving difficult problems for customers. The mission is meaningful, and there are opportunities to work on products that have real-world impact. The pace is fast, which can be exciting if you enjoy building quickly and wearing multiple hats. There is also plenty of room to grow and take on responsibility if you’re proactive.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, and it sometimes feels like the organization hasn’t fully caught up. Priorities shift frequently, which can make long-term planning difficult and leave teams feeling reactive instead of strategic. Workloads can be heavy, and sustained urgency has led to burnout in parts of the organization. Communication between leadership and teams could be more consistent, especially around the reasoning behind major decisions and organizational changes.
