I rarely write reviews, but after this experience, I feel almost obligated to share.
I read Glassdoor reviews before joining and thought, “It sounds tough, but it can’t be that bad. Maybe it depends on the team.” I can now say without hesitation: it was far worse than I could have imagined.
There are no best practices, no proper delivery framework. You could excuse a lack of structure for a growing company, but here, it’s the human side that’s completely wrecked.
The management is problematic and exhibits two highly destructive behaviours:
- Weaponised incompetence: Some managers avoided taking responsibility for tasks that are part of their role. Teams were expected to fix issues, explain processes, and correct mistakes that management did not address.
- Kakistocracy (google it!): Leadership decisions were made by people who appeared unprepared to manage operational reality. This created a culture where poor practices persist and competent employees were overburdened or left.
The client relationship suffered from a lack of trust: unkept promises, unrealistic expectations, and client-facing teams absorbed all the frustration. Constant stress and pressure were part of daily routine with sometimes inappropriate comments from management during meetings when you point out facts.
From day one: no onboarding, no guidance, no support. Employees were expected to figure things out independently. Unpaid overtime was standard, and additional resources were not provided. This led to structural burnout.
I witnessed hypocrisy firsthand: the moment I left, not even 2 days, the narrative changed. Suddenly my English was “not good enough,” despite the fact that I speak five languages fluently and received nothing but praise while there. It’s clear management’s priority is protecting their egos and those of a band of incompetent people, rather than solving problems.
The internal culture was toxic: flattery and manipulation to achieve personal aims, heavy office politics, inability to say no, and lack of prioritisation. Talented people joined, but many eventually left.
Significant resources were spent on business-class travel and five-star hotels for management while teams worked at capacity, with “no budget for additional resources”.
