As someone who worked for the Gipper team based in India, from my experience, I can say that the company not only perpetuates racism and microaggressions but also subjects its India-based employees to a range of unfair treatment. Beyond the discriminatory layoffs recently where I was a victim, the company exhibits a stark disparity between the treatment of its USA and India teams. India-based employees are systematically denied essential benefits such as health, mental health, dental care, and more. This denial not only infringes upon their basic rights but also places their physical and emotional well-being in jeopardy. The regressive leadership fails to promote or provide growth plans for India-based employees, resulting in their stagnation within the company. This exclusionary approach perpetuates a hierarchy where Indian employees are undervalued and overlooked. Moreover, these employees are burdened with excessive workloads, being forced to work 20 hours more than their US counterparts. It is disheartening to note that Gipper's policies, if they exist at all, appear to be either exclusively designed for US-based employees or are merely written for formality with no real implementation. The presence of an HR department within this environment is nothing short of a laughable illusion. Working at Gipper was an excruciatingly painful experience, both mentally and emotionally. The racism, microaggressions, discrimination, denial of benefits, lack of growth opportunities and excessive working hours created an unbearable work environment for me and several others. I strongly advise against considering employment at Gipper - wherever you are from. No individual should have to endure the mental anguish and discrimination that I and others have experienced during our time at this company.
