Pros

Few talented colleagues who genuinely try to make an impact despite the broken system.

Cons

The company is in a dismantled stage due to repeated poor decision-making and lack of vision with Frequent layoffs with zero transparency or accountability from leadership. Legacy leaders with no leadership qualities or updated knowledge — unwilling to upskill or adapt to modern tech practices. Employees are forced to report to such leaders and the “image” they project of you is the only feedback upper management considers—regardless of your actual contributions. The company needs a 'flush out' regulation to interview these people both skillset and cultural aspect once in a while and I'm sure if this happens then a lot of the so called legacy managers and leaders will be thoroughly sent-off. Senior management and the people ops team routinely ignores employee concerns, leaving teams unheard. and the funny part? People ops team act like they care just so you don't write any reviews. Concerning treatment of pregnant women. if you are a pregnant women or if you are returning from pregnancy leave the chances are that you will be laid off immediately, showing a total lack of employee support. some legacy engineering managers have shown unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour toward women employees. What’s worse, their colleagues mirror this behaviour, and despite escalations being raised, no meaningful action was taken. Such issues are brushed under the carpet, creating a highly unsafe and demoralising environment. Organisation-wide all-hands meetings, the CEO often gives lethargic, dismissive, or unclear answers to employee questions, leaving people even more confused instead of inspired.

Dear colleague - apologies for not responding sooner. I can understand some of the frustration as there are some genuine concerns in what you have shared, but also some inaccuracies, let me try to address both. The aim is to give you an honest POV, but I understand that without a direct conversation we might miss out the full context. There has been some restructuring over the last year across the industry and we are not immune to this. What we have done differently though is give people extended time to find a job of their choice and not stick to a predefined date. The performance of the individual also influences this decision in certain cases. In some cases this involved folks who were either returning from maternity or were not willing to travel to office. Even here we give flexibility for those with medical reasons to WFH longer and such folks do continue to work with us. So the reason continues to be restructuring and willingness to WFO (which we respect, but cannot always accommodate) and nothing else. Other issues regarding managers' behaviour that have been brought to the management's notice have been taken seriously and dealt with both 1:1 and also in a group manner. If there's anything that is still lingering, you need to talk directly to us to check. But we cannot be sharing the actions taken with the general public out of consideration to the parties involved. The other statements about people's actions seem to be an opinion which I don't want to get into without more specifics. We will be happy to discuss this should you be open to it. While there could be things here that you disagree with, our hope is that you will atleast be open to more dialogue or constructive action for having more peace of mind at work. Wishing you the very best!
