Parallel Learning Reviews

I spent a year in this company, and it left a lasting impact on my mental health. The founder, Sadanand Vyas, runs the place with an inflated ego and a total lack of empathy. He believes that offering money gives him the right to own your time, your energy, and even your dignity. His attitude toward employees is degrading — he expects total submission, long hours, and blind loyalty, without offering respect in return. To make things worse, his personal choices blur every line of professionalism. He married a former employee, and it's clear that favoritism and unhealthy power dynamics are at play throughout the company. There is absolutely no respect for women in this workplace. Female employees are talked over, sidelined, and often made to feel small. If you're a woman considering this company, please think twice. It is not a supportive or safe environment. The HR team, especially Ruta, sells you a false dream. They talk about leadership opportunities, growth, and high pay, but once you join, it's a completely different reality. No promotions, no support, just relentless pressure. Meanwhile, titles and raises go to friends and family members of leadership — many of whom do little to no real work. The work culture is exhausting. People regularly work until late at night and even on weekends. I personally saw team members eating their first meal of the day at 4 p.m. because they didn’t have time earlier. There’s no concept of balance, well-being, or team morale. “Fun Fridays” are nonexistent. All that matters is output — even if it breaks you. When I finally had enough and chose to resign, the founder said I could name any salary I wanted — if I agreed to work from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. That mindset alone shows you how broken this leadership is. He sees people as machines, not human beings. And trying to leave? A nightmare. They manipulate policies, threaten to withhold documents, and make the exit process miserable. You’re made to feel like you can’t leave until they approve it — even if you’re done. Every single person who joined the company with me has left. I’m talking about 20 to 25 people who couldn’t take the pressure, the toxic culture, or the lack of growth. That says everything. My time there left me drained and demoralized. I gave everything — my time, energy, weekends, health — and was left feeling used and tossed aside. That one year shattered my confidence and slowed my career. It took real effort to rebuild myself afterward. My advice: Do not join this company. If you value your well-being, your growth, and your dignity, look elsewhere. No paycheck is worth this kind of treatment. No role should cost you your mental health. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone.
