What is "not a good culture" according to you?

I have heard people talking about bad culture in a company. I just wanted to know what exactly they mean by not a good culture? Is it micro management or no WLB or something else. Please give some examples and if possible with the company's name.(saw in some recent post on GV that Groww does not a have a good culture. A more detailed example would be much helpful)

- Work on weekends is expected, without comp off or pay - Long hours, especially if not communicated initially or despite having a big team. The last place I worked was notorious for poor planning. We had a lot of folks, big teams who would snooze all day and then wake up at 6 pm and say everything is urgent. - Managers who don’t respect your time off and micromanage. And / or scream at you. - this one is personal for me, but if the company cannot provide me the flexibility of wfh even under genuine conditions they suck.

- people are not goal/result oriented, you are judged on the basis of hours you slog - working on weekends or late night is glorified as hard work - HR team is spineless and their decisions are not followed by any manager/pod owners - Fights and abuses in teams are justified as their passion for the work

Is a toxic workplace becoming a common thing??

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??

How’s Groww India?

Anyone know about the work life balance in Groww Bangalore office? I’m currently attending interviews. I’m a little worried because Groww is the only Softbank Vision fund invested companies that hasn’t conducted layoffs so far in India. I’m concerned if they might layoff employees soon. Can anyone provide any details please?

Work culture of Groww

Just saw so many fresher hirings done by Groww from various IITs, But also noticed a few Groww employees being open to work having already quit(or removed). 🤔 How's the culture and WLB at Groww ? Was there any silent Layoffs ? If yes then why hire so many freshers. 😣

Culture went bad?

People at A want to move to B, because culture at A is bad and B seems good. People at B want to move to C, because culture at B is bad and C seems good. People at C want to move to D, because culture at C is bad and D seems good. And finally People at D want to move to A, because culture at D is bad and A seems good. Includes everything from Google, Atlassian, PhonePe, Swiggy, Microsoft, Amazon and everyone. People leave mainly because of their managers. Or people just want a reason to switch and get a hike. Or just want not to miss out on fomo at other companies.
