I did not find anything

PW is full of favoritism and lacks professionalism. They have a zero-patience work policy, which is not mentioned in your offer letter. But they call anytime, they do not value your personal life.

About the CTO, He started as an intern at PW and is now handling an EdTech unicorn, which is a joke. He has zero interaction with colleagues.

HRs are mere puppets, They work six days a week, yet they have no control over processes. Instead, decisions are made by the Director of Engineering, CTO, CEO, and Co-Founder. The process is so broken that even full and final settlements (FnF) are delayed, requiring multiple follow-ups. If anyone posts complaints on social platforms, they even threaten to ruin their career.

About the Director of Engineering, Engineering Manager, and SDE4, They practice silent terminations and are unwilling to listen to feedback. They prefer to work behind the scenes rather than address concerns openly. They provide zero moral or career support and take zero ownership of their subordinates. Instead, they push employees into individual contributor roles and pass unfair judgments.

Upper management (CTO, DoE, EM, SDE4) prioritizes old employees over new hires, even if the new hire holds a higher position. This is also one of the top reason many employees do not work in this company.

Taking planned leaves at PW is a crime, Upper management will either try to cancel your approved leaves or bring them up later to create issues for you.

The company is filled with politics and has a toxic work environment.

PW relies heavily on interns, and since many of them have never worked in a good company before, they don’t realize how bad the environment is.

The craziest part? The CTO, Co-Founder, and CEO are either unaware of these issues or choose to ignore them completely, making zero effort to improve the work culture.
