- Focus on quality of work - Decent comps - Great team leads, learned a lot from them.
Contras
- The "quality of work" is defined by only one person – Sanket. He'll drive you crazy with his unreal expectations. You might think you're optimising for quality, but you're actually only optimising for one person's opinion of how things should be. Plus: half of the time he is wrong. - They have a pattern of erratically firing people – good or bad. Reason: Employee contracts say that you lose your ESOPs if you get fired. So, they try to save their equity pool. - Zero work-life balance. No respect for others' working hours. Caused me too much mental strain. Still paying for therapy. - They usually do not care about employees' well-being. They have fancy therapist subscriptions but that is mostly for employer branding. - If you message any DeepSource employee and ask them for feedback, they'll probably not be so happy about their jobs.
