Freshworks uses mostly old tech - Ruby and ember seem to be the core. There were some tech stack refreshes happening but the downturn seems to have stopped all that. The control is squarely with the PMs and engineering is a slave to their whims and targets.

Suffice to say the fun is gone. The people at the top have changed and become managing maintainers than original technocrats.

The packages and profiles reflect this. Best to seek pastures elsewhere if you are passionate about learning tech and upgrading yourself. If you just want a job, Freshworks will suffice

Please call Dennis or G to know the answer I don’t think anyone can answer this for you. If you need re assurance then here’s my 2 cents, things will happens as economic conditions worsen until then keep upscaling and letting your manager what more you can do that sets you apart. This will soon go away and freshworks will be chill again
