A Toxic Circus Disguised as a Startup
Pros
the only good thing i can find for me is the permanent WFH
Cons
Using Chat GPT to advocate my review: Thinking about joining WorkLLama? Don’t. Run. This place is an absolute dumpster fire—a perfect example of how to run a company straight into the ground with arrogance, ignorance, and zero accountability. There are zero perks—no learning, no wellness, not even decent chairs to sit on. The CTO is a tech-illiterate joke, constantly making backward decisions that actively sabotage progress. The engineering manager is a manipulative opportunist, exploiting people’s vulnerabilities and later claiming credit for “supporting” them. It’s not toxic—it’s hostile. HR doesn’t exist. You’re on your own. “Outings” are a farce—cheap lunches passed off as culture. No hikes in four years. Just fake “retention bonuses” followed by layoffs before payout. That’s not mismanagement—it’s exploitation. Management has no direction, no funds, and no shame. They keep hiring without money, then cut everyone’s salary to survive their own poor planning. You’ll work weekends, nights, holidays, all under the illusion of “being part of something big.” Truth is—you’re just fuel for a broken system. Gender ratio is a disaster. Nepotism is the norm. Leadership hires friends and family regardless of ability, while actual performers are ignored or pushed out. So why did I stay 4 years in this nightmare? Only because they offered permanent work from home. That’s it. The moment I found something better, I ran—and so should you.
