Feels like a toxic startup environment in India despite being a global brand. • Extremely poor work culture — managers, leaders, and HR lack empathy. • Rigid 3-day in-office requirement, even if you are unwell — otherwise, you are forced to take leave. • Office hours are officially 10 AM – 4 PM, but real work happens after hours: daily calls from 5:30 PM to 10–11 PM, followed by more work to resolve issues from those calls. • US managers work only until 3–3:30 PM their time but keep pushing work and pressure on India team members late into the night. • Cab service is unreliable and food quality is bad. • 90% of employees are just waiting to complete a year or get another offer (even with the same pay) to leave. • Work is mostly no-code tasks or migrations — little to no real learning or career growth. Feels more like being in school than in a professional engineering role. • Surveys are claimed to be anonymous, but feedback leads to direct confrontation from managers the very next week.

The work environment is super toxic. They just let a bunch of “product owners” go because they wouldn’t work ridiculous numbers of hours trying to implement a deeply flawed and constantly changing strategic plan. A bunch of really good product owners have left recently, and more in mid-senior positions are actively looking to exit right now. The directors and VPs know there is a problem but they refuse to address it and just put more pressure on the rest of us. There are currently over 100 open positions between e-commerce and IT that they need to hire for, but are unable to. They are purposefully only listing some of the jobs because they know if they post all of them at one time they will legitimize what everyone is saying about what it’s like to work there: that it is terrible and so they can’t retain anyone who is any good, or they fire anyone who dares to speak up. It’s a massive popularity contest, and the person who sucks up the most wins. People talk a lot about supporting each other, but you can’t trust anyone. I am still working in the e-commerce department but I am trying to leave as soon as I can get a job that I’m really happy with. Read the other reviews: ask yourself, which reviews do you believe? The good ones or the bad ones. Who has more to gain? Management placing fake reviews to boost their glass door ratings, or employees who are actually upset about working conditions. Relatively low pay relative to other employers.
