Darwinbox is a hellhole, absolute shit work life balance- Grapevine

Gave an interview, had a final round with the founder.
The founder asked the reason for changing job, I replied honestly stating it's for WLB (same answer I gave in previous rounds). 
The founder lost it and started bragging that he was working till 4 AM on a Sunday night and came to the office at 9AM , the next day to attend meetings , he expects the same from his employees and one should not expect WLB in start ups.
The hike they were offering was minimal and no esops. Why would anyone join such a Company? Especially when there are no monetary benefits and work seems exploitation?

Is Darwin Box a Shit Company?

Got pretty mixed reviews on Glassdoor.
Would love to know your opinion

How's Darwinbox as a company?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Gone through their Glassdoor pretty mixed but there are people who are there under 1 year all of them citing no WLB and culture issues.

How's Darwinbox culture and WLB?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Does anyone over here work at Darwinbox? Curious to understand its go-market-strategy. How reliant is the firm on new-age start-ups vs enterprises? Is pricing one of its key USPs (compared to the likes of Workday, Oracle etc.) Thanks in advance.

Work Culture at OYO?

Strategy & Operations

Toxic company - A place which degrades  you,and  you want to beat  your manager  everytime you see or hear his/her  voice. 

This is a temp definition and varies  with time , person and company for some its their coworkers for some its management .

Do comment company name you think match this and people should be aware of it.

What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

What's the worst company you have worked for?

ICICI Bank, they had a strict sign in timing policy where if you are late to corporate office, half day salary would be cut, It would be reversed only when manager approves. The sign out time used to be 5.15pm, but you would be made to sit till 8 pm by most of the managers even if your job is done for the day. A sign out at 6 pm used to be called as half day by most of the managers. 
 I heard now they donot have this dictatorial policy.

Data Analyst

That’s it. This is the post. I’m at the point of exhaustion where I can’t even find the words to rant.

It’s as bad as they say it is

UX/UI Designer

I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back.

Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p 

Shoot.

What's a secret from a previous workplace you worked at? 🤫

Not my workplace, but true story. 
  
 giant american retail company (assume it's W*) hires one giant indian IT services company (assume it's H*) for some maintenance work now this H* company has offload this work to small Indian IT services company (assume it's M*) which has a employee named R* who's one assigned to actually do the work but R* is smartass he's scouting internet for freelancer to fix the issues. He gets one junior guy P* to work for few thousand rupees and shares his credentials, vpn provider etc and our P* now messes up , in the whole scenario there's no safety lot's of mess total grey zone. 
  
 From knowing this incident, I'm like no one gives any fucks about anything, only if people weren't so bad.

Backend Engineer

Corporate Strategist

Company name - Chat360

It's pretty small and inconspicuous, but if I save even one person from joining this organisation, I will consider it worth it. Based on first hand accounts from 3 very reliable sources who are confirmed employees.

A very basic chatbot platform, being marketed as a Gen AI first product. They don't even have basic NLP and claim to be Gen AI. 

The founder & ceo is completely directionless. This is his side hustle, but while interviewing new hires he claims that he is the full time CEO (this is not true, he is barely available and always busy in his main business which is a car dealership) 

The co-founder is an IIT-grad, and due to the Founder's absence is basically running the show though he has zero business acumen. He constantly bitches about the founder to senior employees.

Of course, with such a toxic back story, it is hell to work here. No unity in the team, lot of back biting and bitching, public humiliation on WhatsApp groups, constant blame game. Basically, a shitshow. 

Do not, do not, do not join this place. Avoid it like the plague.

Toxic startup

It's already occupied by large players does it make sense even if we give a try on this??

Is it worth starting HR tool like darwinbox start-up now??
