I joined the company with high expectations, but the work culture turned out to be extremely disappointing. The leadership style is authoritarian, with frequent public yelling and an overall environment of fear rather than collaboration. Employees are often spoken to disrespectfully, and concerns are not heard or acknowledged. Work timings are excessively strict. Despite the official schedule being 9 to 6, employees are expected to be at their desks exactly at 9:00 AM and discouraged from leaving at 6:00 PM. There is absolutely no flexibility, even for genuine reasons. The CEO recently sent a company-wide email that was highly demotivating, labeling employees as negative influences and questioning their commitment. Instead of promoting trust, the communication created an atmosphere of blame and shaming. Statements comparing employees to “blue collar workers” and implying that people do not deserve basic flexibility reflect a very unhealthy mindset. Leadership often treats employees as resources rather than people. The culture encourages micromanagement and discourages open dialogue. Even routine meetings involve repeated reminders due to distrust, and the tone from the top is consistently harsh. Overall, this is not a people-first company. The work environment lacks respect, flexibility, and psychological safety. Anyone considering joining should be aware of the highly rigid and stressful culture before making a decision.

Hands down the worst "company" I've ever experienced in Silicon Valley. If you come across them, run. Run the other direction for your own good. Trust me. I totally regret working for them.
