Toxic Culture and Unhappy Employees - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Circles

1. retrenchment exercise was a joke. employees were let go without dignity, told that they were let go and expected to return assets within an hour or two the same day. no damage control, no sympathy. during the meeting, told some employees they were being let go because business needs changed, but after that newspaper reports and even a Glassdoor review below mentioned that people were let go due to performance/ productivity issues (if you fire entire teams in Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, and India, are you sure you're doing right by the employees if you said they were bad performers?) in my pov, a company that does this to their employees have 0 respect and you would be better off not joining lest you face the same situation. 2. promises stock options but gives nothing as a non senior management employee, esops promised were never exercised or given. many people have left and are unable to exercise their stock options (we paid to have them) and I'm not even sure about the legality of their practices. 3. lack of transparency. company wide townhalls questions are vetted beforehand, and founders/ leadership team prepare their answers. expect 3 minute answers that are vague and promise things far off in the future without really getting to the point. 4. huge superiority complexes, founders and senior management believe "if you dont fit our culture, then maybe this isnt the place for you". Very narrow minded thinking, if you arent giving 200% and sacrificing your own personal time, being aggressive in pushing your ideas, or exceeding (not just meeting) your kpis, then you arent a culture fit in their eyes to be honest.
