Culture at Webomates

My first experience of what Webomates is really like was in my interview. Here is how it went :

CEO(Aseem Bakshi): “Swetha will be away for her mat leave, and we will give you another point of contact until she returns. I hope you are coming back, Swetha.” 

Swetha: “of course I am.”
Aseem: “So why do you want to switch from freelance to full-time work?”
Jaya (Interviewee ME ): “I wanted to focus on my baby, so I took off from full time and started freelancing….” 
Aseem:” Oh! So, you are a returnee? No need to explain further. We have many returnees in our organization”.

And the focus of the questions moved to the projects I did in my freelancing.

This might sound like a simple conversation to someone; but for me or any other woman, it’s inspiring to know how easily a company is shrugging off the tags “Women on Maternity Leave,” “Freelancer,” or “Returnee,” and see beyond these tags when it comes to hiring women in the workforce. 

Almost a month in the organization for me, and the glimpses speak volumes about companies’ culture.

Similarly, Swati (Manager HR) didn’t pause for a second when I told her that I am Freelancer looking for a full-time job. She asked about my work profile and instantly replied: “ok, when should we schedule your Interview.”

It made me realize that the culture of women empowerment permeates from the CEO and COO (a woman) to HR (a woman) at Webomates.

Almost a month in the company; It’s a new domain, Artificial Intelligence, Testing, a new journey, and I have never felt a lack of support. I thoroughly enjoy learning about World leading Technology AI and how it is making a difference in every sector, especially software development and Testing.

Along with my experience, my conversation with my colleagues and seniors made me understand why Webomates’ work culture made it so loved and such a fantastic place to work:

Start-up Culture

Webomates blatantly defies the old rules of the success ladder and learning. You are a trainee? You will still be getting to work on crucial projects, and your reporting managers will be your mentors too. Webomates is at the forefront of technology, making its work environment extremely fast-paced. Employees are working on world-leading innovations in Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and data Science. 

Employees here love the new challenges and opportunities that they would have never got elsewhere. No, it isn’t easy to work on such crazy dynamic technologies at a fast pace, but that makes it way more exciting. 

With seven granted patents from the USPTO ( The United States Patent and Trademark Office ) and more coming, you know you are working at the forefront of technologies in every team. Webomates provides a perfect start-up culture where they will not shy away from throwing big challenges at you and will never forget to celebrate when you succeed or hold hands when you falter.  

The mantra at the company is Try a new Idea, Fail Fast, Learn, Try Again.

Sumeet Nagpal: “For a passionate Techie like me, it’s a dream come true to work on such advanced technology like Artificial intelligence at the beginning of my career! My learning has expanded manifold since I joined Webomates.” 
Nikhil Bangera: “We work in a fast-paced environment, and it’s challenging and fun to learn these crazy advanced technologies like AI and ML. Not every company opens the learning gates as Webomates does.”

100% Work From Home

Webomates strongly believes in the philosophy “A Happy employee, Happy Business.”

Employees are happy that they have more family time. Work-from-home and Flexi work hours have increased employees’ productivity at Webomates, making them lead a fulfilling holistic life. 

Thenmozhi Ranganathan: “Work from home and flexible work timings helped me to take the big leap of returning to work after seven years of gap. Proper training and guidance from my seniors have made this transition so smooth for me. I am so happy to be a part of Webomates.”

Jithin Sukumaran: “Webomates is a young start-up, and It’s fun to be working in an environment where communication is free-flowing. I feel heard and valued. Apart from work, I love reading books and exploring new places. I find it so fulfilling to be able to pursue my hobbies because we have work-from-home culture.”

Sumeet – “Maintaining work-life balance became much easier with the company’s work-from-home culture. I don’t waste my time on stressful traveling anymore.” 

Returner Friendly

Webomates is not only welcoming talented returners but also making this transition a smooth journey for those who left their flourishing full-time jobs to raise children, care for family elders, or due to workplace discrimination. Work-from-home, flexible timings, proper training, and equal opportunities have encouraged many women to return to work and thrive in the company.

Swati (HR Manager): Restarting my career at Webomates after an extended maternity break has been a journey of continuous learning and challenges to achieve higher goals. As a returnee, I have realized the top reason women drop out is the lack of work-life balance. So, when I can do my bit for women who want to return to work, it feels so rewarding. Women not only return to work but thrive because maintaining a work-life balance becomes effortless at Webomates.

Diversity

Diversity is of the utmost priority in the Webomates hiring process. I have seen employees working for Webomates from across the Globe; the US, Argentina, and many more. It’s inspiring to see employees working in different time zones and countries with diverse ethnicity and gender in such a collaborative manner. Webomates have more than 40% woman representation of total Global hires and 50% of India hires, which is an impressive number for a High Tech Startup!  

If you like the sound of Webomates with its startup culture, 100% work-from-home, returner-friendly, and incredibly diverse team, apply here. We are hiring like crazy!
