1) Career growth appears conditional and largely dependent on aligning with the founders' viewpoints rather than merit.
2)Employees are often made to work outside their core job roles. For example, operations team members may be pushed into sales, and UI/UX designers are frequently tasked with creating social media content—leading to poor utilization of skills and growing dissatisfaction.
3)The work culture is extremely toxic, with high attrition rates. Employee well-being is not a priority.
4)Founders, while skilled in their technical domains, lack fundamental business acumen and leadership abilities. Decision-making is impulsive and often disrespectful toward team members.
5)The CEO has been observed displaying aggressive behavior even towards co-founders, setting a poor example for organizational conduct.
6) Employees who resign are treated unprofessionally and are subjected to undue pressure during the notice period. In some cases, negative feedback is even shared during background verifications.
7) Financial mismanagement is evident. Provident Fund (PF) contributions have reportedly not been credited for over 20 months, even as leadership continues to spend on personal foreign trips.
8) The HR department lacks professionalism and effectiveness. The current HR lead is a long-time employee but is neither trained nor focused on HR responsibilities. Much of her time is spent monitoring staff and assisting with unrelated operations.
9) The absence of a dedicated product manager has led to poorly thought-out, outdated product offerings.
10) There are no clear processes, policies, or structures in place, leading to frequent confusion and misalignment across teams.
