The Unacademy Circus: A $3.5 Billion Clown Show? For one sales employee, Unacademy was a nightmarish corporate musical chairs. Hired for NextLevel, tossed to a language learning app project that got shelved, then shoved into a random SaaS startup Graphy- all in 6 months with 10 different managers! What an absolute circus for the $3.5B "unicorn". Instead of a cohesive strategy, Unacademy jerks employees around like disposable clowns and throw them off. They're a tragicomic big-top, scrambling reactively from one disorganized pivot to the next buzzword that catches their eye. No direction, just whimsical decisions that treat workers as punchlines for managerial incompetence. Bravo Unacademy, you've taken "unicorn" to unique levels of shallowness. A clown show where the joke's always on your employees. Reacting erratically amid billion-dollar valorization while churning through staff - what an utter joke of a company! (Note: not recently, their get rick quick scheme started ‘22)

Sounds like their billion-dollar valuation is all smoke and mirrors. Actual growth should come from solid management, not chaos.

Such erratic management can destroy employee morale and trust. It’s hard to stay motivated when the company keeps shifting gears randomly. 😕

I left Unacademy because of this chaos. They never seemed to have a clear direction, and it was frustrating as an employee.

I’d be wary of joining any company with such a reputation. No matter how big the name, internal stability is key for growth
