join at your own risk - Dont Want to Say Snabbit Employee Review

Nil, no pros, pls don’t join

One of the most toxic work cultures I’ve experienced. The company talks a lot about growth, funding, and vision, but internally it often feels like a one-man army where decisions revolve around pleasing a few individuals rather than building strong teams. If your manager is uncomfortable with strong performers or independent thinkers, your growth can suddenly stop. The culture slowly pushes people into survival mode where boot licking matters more than actual performance, ownership, or contribution. There were constant pressure tactics, public degradation of responsibilities, role downgrades into IC-level work despite leadership contributions, and situations designed to mentally exhaust employees until they resign on their own. False narratives and selective communication became common whenever someone questioned decisions or expected transparency. People who genuinely worked like founding members were not treated like one. Contributions were conveniently forgotten when it came to promotions, recognition, equity discussions, or long-term rewards. The saddest part is that many employees gave everything to build the company during difficult phases, only to realize that loyalty and hard work were valued less than internal politics. A startup can be demanding, but there’s a difference between high performance culture and psychologically draining management practices.

No Pros, unless you are good at boot licking.

Toxic culture with dangerously short-sighted leadership The culture here is defined by fear, not performance. Leaders are publicly humiliated, so you can only imagine what junior employees experience on a daily basis. There's a pervasive insecurity at every level that keeps you feeling like you're permanently on the firing line. Ideas go unacknowledged, expectations are wildly unrealistic, and you spend every day firefighting instead of building anything meaningful. Worse, internal competition is actively encouraged over cross-team collaboration, a structural choice that reflects exactly how disconnected leadership is from what actually drives growth. The micromanagement is suffocating. You're monitored for when you walk in, even if you're putting in extra days without being asked. That kind of environment kills any intrinsic motivation to care about the company's success. There is no empathy here. No respect for people's time, effort, or wellbeing. The most important thing I learned during my time here: your mental and physical health are non-negotiable. Protect them, even if that means walking away.
