Pros

Good pay masters. Good product. Although its a cheap replica of competition.

Cons

The culture of this company is really pathetic. Managers are essentially bullies here. They have hired people as VPs and CXOs from within their friend circles and they are damn incapable. So their only option is to resort to bully juniors and try to appear 'smart' in front of the founders by doing so. Unfortunately, the founders are also a party to it. The CTO is also a bully and threatens to fire you if you try to raise any issue with him. Additionally he is a really bad manager and cannot work with teams. If you are planning to join this company, please accept that you will have to live with really low self worth and be willing to get bullies every now and then. There isnt much of career growth opportunities as the founders will hire their friends on top of you to hide their own incompetencies. Strictly AVOID this company. There are many companies in India who have 1000 times better culture and great work environment than CleverTap. Dont settle for this company. Please ignore all the 5 star comments, those are written by the HR to maintain the ratings of the company as it took a severe hit when they laid off 80+ employees in a single day.

Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback here. The situation with COVID-19 has forced companies around the world to make overnight changes and back off from aggressive hiring and expansion plans—and CleverTap is no exception. While we are saddened by the reduction-in-force recently, we are working diligently with former employees to assist them in sourcing new positions during this time of global uncertainty. We would greatly appreciate it if you would reach out to our HR team, so that we can understand your feedback in detail, which we can use as inputs as we focus on improving. Cheers, Sumith

Pros

There are meaningful opportunities to take ownership and drive work independently. The role can grow with you if you are proactive and curious. The exposure to cross-regional work and different teams is strong, and you get to build processes from the ground up. Leadership is generally approachable and open to ideas, and there is room to shape your function if you take initiative. The learning curve is steep in a good way.

Cons

Some processes are still evolving, so you need to be comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out without a lot of structure. Workload can spike at times.
