5y3 years is a long time. Wonder why you bring up all this without any reason.
1. Personal and professional lives are entirely different. There are times when one may spill into the other and the needs of people at PL are accommodated just like sometimes they may accommodate a work need. All managers are clear on this, as are our people.
2. You have used a lot of big terms in this review to spread malice about the CEO. We will not qualify any of these because there are many other reviews to qualify just the opposite of what you have said. Every work association works on mutual trust, professional work, and performance. Clearly this seems to be missing so little point in detailing further. Nevertheless there are two sides of the truth always :)
3. Any organization must look within and that’s what the leadership team constantly works towards. It’s one of the reasons why our processes are continuously fine-tuned to address growth related developments. This is carefully done after listening to our people.
4. Attrition at Pink Lemonade has also been performance driven where poor performers have been fairly given a performance improvement plan and support to perform. They mutually disengage when this does not work out so please do not try to indicate otherwise.
I hope this clarifies. I can vouch for this and I am here for 4 years - that speaks something.

4yHey,
As always we will answer this with facts and correctness. No tales here!
So here are the facts:
1. No salary cuts yes. None till date. All salaries paid on time. Including incentives. Bonuses paid out in addition for everyone who went above and beyond. Salaries are determined basis experience, contribution and performance only.
2. Friday snacks - we do it to care for our people additionally. Not to feed them in lieu of stress or work. People get salaries and rewards for performance, and support for anything else, not food. :)
3. Work - if you're done on time and do the right work, you pack up for the day. Those who get it wrong are the ones who write this stuff here, naturally, because their day extends and they need to finish what they promised and mutually agreed to. Sometimes deadlines have to be pushed because the work is shoddy. You and your senior were both given fair feedback for wrong work on a call and never shouted at.
4. Did you ask the people who broke down on your Zoom session, why they did - were you told of the umpteen ways PL tried to support them? Were you told of the situations they were dealing with other than work and how much the company supported? We cannot divulge more here unfortunately or we would have.
5. Reviews on GD - yes all people who would love to write on the good things PL does can share freely what they want to. They are not tailored or fake. There are many who tell us "I love PL and this is the place I want to be forever". Many love it! Including the bond they share with the CEO. Ask the ones who enjoy working with her to tell you what they learnt and why so :)
6. Work harder or longer due to COVID-- please indicate where this was said to any person. The last mail from the CEO invited everyone to wrap their day earlier than normal. We advise you not to make up stories.
7. Work in the pandemic - yes it's been great and PL is growing but not before we care for each and every person - looking into their needs ALL THE TIME! Please name ONE instance where someone was not given help or support when they needed it. But, if you're talking of skipping work and disappearing, submitting half baked stuff and shutting off before anyone can try and reach you, then everyone is answerable to their managers. Please don't ask us to support non-performance :)
8. Attrition - PL is a smart and fast paced environment - if you sham or shirk or think you're here to simply pass a day, please don't apply. You will eventually leave and write all these kind of things when asked to perform better. In fact we have noticed the trend clearly -- if you tried getting away with malpractice and we didn't go along with you, those are the ones who resort to writing stuff here anonymously.
Maybe it's also wise to check why many high performers are still with us and how they are cared for :) and the fantastic work they're doing. What makes them get the respect and career growth they deserve? Please ask.
9. Medical insurance - please check your facts. All employees are provided with many benefits, including many types of leaves (42) and insurance. Again we request you not to make up stuff.
10. No one makes up processes as you've cited above. Process improvement is needed for every growing organization. We use world class work flow tools. Please appreciate the good.
11. Please check the facts on PF. In your probation period your PF is NOT cut and thanks to that you take home a NEAR FULL salary. Can it get any better? Post your confirmation, your PF is deposited EVERY MONTH. Please come check the records and let's talk facts.
We wish you all the very best. Do well.
Cheers!
