Disappointing Culture for a “Unicorn”Growing business but culture prioritizes attendance over performance
Pros
Strong business momentum and IPO potential
Cons
The biggest issue was the management culture. In my experience, there was too much focus on office presence and the exact time employees left, instead of measuring people by their actual performance and impact. This created an old-school and frustrating atmosphere. The office environment was also not ideal for focused work. It was often noisy, and many coworkers seemed stressed or frustrated, which affected the general atmosphere. For a company that presents itself as a successful unicorn, some of the office equipment and facilities felt disappointing, including old monitors that were uncomfortable to use for long working hours. Career growth also felt limited. I would not recommend joining with strong expectations for promotions, salary increases, or meaningful professional development unless this is clearly discussed and written before joining.
