Joining Forecastera is one of the worst decisions I made in my career. Time spent here so far is a write-off and a total waste of time without any benefits. The experience gained here is not recognized by other companies and you have to again join as a fresher in another company. We have not learnt any meaningful skill we can sell outside. The founder Rahul has been a major disappointment and has no maturity or vision to lead this start up and bring out good products. He has no technical skills in product, software, saas, cloud, salesforce, analytics. He has wasted all his life in usual IT companies like CSC, infosys and these companies cannot teach you to create a good forecasting product suite. He does not have expertise in any of the modern forecasting tools and software. We can see through the hole in his skills. That’s the reason why this company is not growing. We don’t learn anything by working with him. Companies with strong founders have taken off to a meaningful size in 5 years. But this will remain a startup forever and then fizzle out. When we look at other companies they have been getting funding frequently and they are growing. We do not see such growth happening here. With the kind of deal size the company is targeting we will never become big. Look elsewhere. If you doubt what we say about funding and company’s growth please go and check in crunchbase and glassdoor. There is no financial reward - we are offered low pay in the promise of equity going up but utterly worthless because the company is not headed anywhere. We are surprised that quite a few senior folks are still having faith in him. Maybe they are also on the lookout but are stuck due to Corona. Why would they waste their time in a company that’s led by an individual without vision or competence? He cannot be sacked because he is the founder. Our advice to you: don’t make the mistake we made. Check the founder's background before joining. We all wish he sells his stakes and moves on so somebody with product based competence and technical skills can lead. But then who will buy his shares. No one! This is going to be yet another ordinary startup that’s bound to fail.
