Fast-growing company but extremely poor work culture; especially challenging for women - Marketing Manager AppsForBharat Employee Review

Culture of constant false urgency – almost everything is treated like a crisis, even when it isn’t. Work is undervalued unless it matches that week’s leadership priorities – long-term efforts often get dismissed. Very low appreciation for individual contributors – recognition is rare, and contributions feel invisible. High attrition – many people leave within a short period, which keeps morale low. Leadership perceived as biased – in my experience, influence and visibility depended more on who is favored by top leaders rather than on merit. Women’s experience can be especially difficult – during my time there, I saw multiple women leaders leave within months; many felt unheard or sidelined. Policies that look good on paper but not in practice – for example, benefits like period leave were publicly celebrated but employees often felt judged when actually using them. Lack of psychological safety – people hesitate to speak up because decisions seem top-down and inconsistent. Not a place for long-term career growth unless you are aligned with the right inner circle.
