Sad state of affairs for Byju’s employees

Corporate Strategist

Earlier used to see a lot of stuff Byju's on GV. Seems like either everyone has left, or they've asked employees to not say anything

Any Byju's employees still around? What's happening there?

Brand Communication Manager

Hey all. My first post here. Can anyone tell me what the work culture is like at Unacademy and Upgrad. Currently in another ed-tech firm and looking for a shift.

Work Culture

Operations Manager

"BYJU’S grew considerably since our first investment in 2018, but, over time, its reporting and governance structures did not evolve sufficiently for a company of that scale. Despite repeated efforts from our Director, executive leadership at BYJU’S regularly disregarded advice and recommendations relating to strategic, operational, legal, and corporate governance matters. The decision for our Director to step down from the BYJU’S Board was taken after it became clear that he was unable to fulfil his fiduciary duty to serve the long-term interests of the Company and its stakeholders."

This is major - Prosus just publically said that BYJU's had improper governance and failed to improve despite their recommendations

Investment Associate

There are managers who are paid close to a Crore Rupees a year for doing this.

Scene: Our team is working on it. We’ll get back to you.
Reality: I have no idea about what the issue is. I’m completely dependent on my team.

Scene: I have a hard stop now. Have to drop off.
Reality: I don’t care about the ongoing meeting. My “passive” attendance in some other meeting is more important than the ongoing meeting.

Scene: +team FYI 
Reality: Not my responsibility. Team must take a look.

Scene: Do you have some bandwidth?
Reality: If you say no, I will use this against you during appraisal.

Scene: Feel free to give feedback about leadership. Your opinion is important for continuous improvement.
Reality: Negative feedback should be worded with politically correct statements. Else be ready to face consequences.

Scene: The leadership team expects so-and-so from you.
Reality: I’m not capable of questioning the leadership team. I’m just passing the buck to you.

Scene: Can you prepare a deck by this day?
Reality: I want to show a rosy picture to my leaders. I will ‘use’ you to impress my leaders.

Scene: Who wants to work on this item?
Reality: I’ll judge employees who don’t volunteer.

Scene: I want you to complete this (bullshit work) by this weekend at any cost.
Reality: I want to save my ass in this job.

Scene: Do you have any blockers?
Reality: As if I’m capable of resolving them…lol

Scene: Taking a day off. Reachable on mobile.
Reality: Added the second statement to ‘show’ how important & flexible I am. I know you’ll not call me anyways.

Scene: Manager presenting something. Do you have any questions?
Reality: -silence-

Have you ever encountered Managers like these?

Inefficient Managers

Software architect

I'll go first. 

Narcissistic AF, named a whole product after his name!

Awkward things about Byju's. Let's do a thread!

Product Owner

On the other hand byju's busy spending $$$ on twitter bots and telling people how byju (founder) is going through "rough time", that doesn't mean you can screw others. I don't care about economy now bhaad me jaye sab, I want this company to fail badly.

Byju's, allegedly hid $533 million in an obscure three-year-old hedge fund that once said its principal place of business was an IHOP pancake restaurant in Miami, according to lenders trying to recover the cash.

Byju's Hid Rs 4,400 Crore In Fund Once Run From Pancake Shop In US, Allege Lenders: Report

Why ju?

Have been a sales guy from more than 4 years now. During the bull market, the perks were amazing. 

Shit has hit the fan rn, most of the folks aren’t getting full and final settlement.  Appraisals and increments are on hold indefinitely. Haven’t received arrears from a long time, even after multiple commitments from the management.  Haven’t received sales incentive from last 3 months. 

Start finding new roles :/, we’re all f.

My experience with Byjus

After fooling countless customers, investors, loan partners, byjus employees are now all set to destroy what little is left to Unacademy.
Unacademy is now frantically hiring people from BYJUs across all levels and verticals. With BYJUs employees employment stood on the base of false promises and unethical sales, it is just a matter of time, Unacademy will become the new BYJUs.

With the company’s product first approach and the apprehension towards aggressive selling, it is disheartening to see the new fondness towards BYJUs.
