Volunteering experience-Productfolks

Hello everyone, I wanted to step in and shed light on the volunteering culture at Productfolks. TLDR: It's the most toxic one. Don't join!!! To begin with, they periodically post fellowship ads where completing an assignment is required for entry. Then, they mention that volunteering for one month is necessary before conversion. That makes sense. However, what they fail to mention is that you need to dedicate at least 8-9 hours daily(!!!) to be considered for conversion to a fellow. Currently, there are fewer than 10 fellows, while the number of volunteers is at least 4 times that because they want to continue EXPLOITING ppl. As a result, NO ONE gets converted. They claim to be a non-profit, but trust me, there's a lot of money flowing into the community, or perhaps just into the founders' pockets - especially looking at Suhas. When you volunteer, they treat you poorly, expect unrealistic time commitments, overload you with work, and hold you excessively accountable for things they need scapegoats for. It's a culture where you regret ever getting involved because the work mainly involves operations that consume time, and the opportunities for learning are very limited. Not to mention the expectations that force you to sacrifice your days for menial tasks. It might be okay for the tag, but I strongly suggest against volunteering. The community seems pleasant from the consumer end, and that's as much involvement as I would recommend
