Avoid This Company – Toxic Leadership, Unrealistic Expectations, High Turnover - Anonymous employee Tokka Labs Employee Review

Toxic, Micromanaging CTO: The CTO is the root cause of the company's problems. He constantly micromanages, undermines team members, and talks down to colleagues both privately and publicly. Despite his claims of "completing major projects," the reality is quite different — projects remain incomplete, disorganized, and riddled with technical debt. Unrealistic Timelines: Project deadlines are set arbitrarily without consulting the team, leading to burnout and unfinished work. Lack of Support and Collaboration: There’s little to no support from leadership. Instead of fostering teamwork, the CTO prefers to belittle others, contributing to a toxic environment. High Turnover: Entire teams have resigned due to poor leadership and unrealistic expectations. New hires are often left stranded, forced to navigate outdated, poorly written code with zero documentation or support. No Career Growth: There’s no structure, no career progression, and no clear direction from either the CTO or CEO. It's all about rushing deliverables with no regard for quality or sustainability. If you value your skills, career growth, and mental well-being, look elsewhere. This company is unstable, disorganized, and driven by leadership that undermines rather than empowers its teams.
