Are there any companies which didn’t become toxic?

Recently whenever I come across any post on GV asking about the culture of a particular company people generally point out it to be toxic... Even in big companies like Swiggy, Upstox etc. Are there even any good product companies in India with decent TC + WLB + Culture??

Hi Grapeviners, creating a thread where you can post the name of a toxic culture company along with which department. This thread is created as a one stop place to know about Toxic Culture Companies whether it, Early/Seed/Growth Stage/MNC . #community

After going through so many posts on grapevine..I feel like all the startups in India are toxic only 😕😕 Really want to know which are the startups worthy of joining? Preferably in product roles

The last 1-2 years have been filled with turmoil and uncertainty with layoffs and unfriendly employee policies But for now, let's share some of the best companies you have had the experience to work in

Does anyone else feels that whichever company gets the certification of "great place to work" actually turns out to be a shitty toxic place? The irony of this!! The places which didn't bother about such certifications were so much better in their policies and employee first culture. No fucks given to any external validation.. just casually going about their business and letting the employees become their ambassador for postive word of mouth.

There is so much negativity around startups right now due to the market cycle since 1.5 years and because of a few bad names but I think overall startups have created massive opportunities in terms of wealth creation, up skilling and giving major breaks to people to learn faster. I think this is largely a founder driven issue as they simply want to be cool and startup for the sake of it but I’ve also seen founders that are committed and passionate however is getting difficult to recognize them and find companies actually building a good product that is solving good problem statement AND not get toxic culture. Can people share some examples in the last 5 years of such founders/startups so we can discuss them more and get some positivity on this platform?

I am currently working as a senior engineer at a startup (yoe 6+). Initially things were good , but from the last few months The workplace turned toxic and all the nasty things started happening around me. The burn out was deteriorating mental and physical health, so i lost my patience and resigned. Making this ama , so that I can help someone who is going through the same situation.

Amids layoffs and recessions, has your company become more toxic that it used to be?

In India, particularly in Bengaluru. Work here means problem they are solving. Salary includes ctc, perks and stocks. Culture here means work-life balance.
