Toxic leadership: The founder/lead, Kanwal Kripple, regularly speaks in a demeaning, condescending tone. Feedback is rarely constructive and often delivered with the intention to belittle.
Manipulative environment: Communication is unclear, and the culture runs on fear, gaslighting, and control rather than support or collaboration.
Hostile to women: Extremely poor gender ratio (~3 women in 20+ employees). Women are hired more as token representation than as valued professionals. Many are let go quickly and without valid reason.
No recognition for good work: Even high-quality work, approved by team leads, was dismissed as “a waste of time and resources.” This was said to me directly about work that had already been validated.
Sudden termination: I was let go without any prior conversation or warning-just told one day to log out of all systems and not return. No explanation, no courtesy.
No psychological safety: Criticism is constant, support is non-existent, and leadership fosters self-doubt rather than growth.
