Best CEO, Worst management - Software Development Engineer (SDE) II NucleusTeq Employee Review

As the CEO of NucleusTeq, I feel compelled to respond directly to this review—not to silence criticism, but to address the clear inaccuracies and tone of hostility that serve no constructive purpose. Let me be absolutely clear: no employee has ever been laid off within three weeks under the excuse of a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Our PIP process is formal, structured, and spans 1 to 3 months, with well-defined checkpoints, support systems, and documentation. We do not—and will never—use it as a pretext for arbitrary terminations. We do expect accountability and high standards from our teams, as any serious tech company should. That’s not micromanagement—it’s performance culture. And while we’re not perfect, we do offer support, mentorship, and fair processes for all employees. If there have been gaps, I want to know about them through the proper internal channels, not through anonymous and inflammatory accusations. To suggest that the company "only generates money for the CEO" is not only false—it’s insulting to the hundreds of people who work hard every day to build something meaningful here. I, and the leadership team, are fully engaged in building a company that creates opportunities, delivers innovation, and treats its people with fairness and respect. I understand that emotions can run high, especially during transitions or challenges. But this kind of personal attack and misinformation doesn't help improve anything—it only spreads bitterness. If there are real issues to discuss, my door remain open, You can reach out at ashish@nucleusteq.com We are building NucleusTeq with a long-term vision, and I remain committed to that journey—with integrity, transparency, and resilience, Ashish Baghel CEO- NucleusTeq
