I worked at NetBramha Studios and my experience was deeply disappointing. What could have been a great design company turned out to be one of the most stressful environments I’ve ever been in.
The management culture is highly micromanaged with no flexibility at all. Even a few minutes of delay in reaching office can lead to half-day salary deductions, which feels completely unfair — especially when you’re already overworked and staying late because of tasks assigned by management at the end of the day.
They constantly overburden employees with work, often giving you additional internal projects even when you’re already dedicated to a retainer client project. Despite being transparent about bandwidth, you’re expected to deliver both, and if you can’t, you’re made to feel like you’re not doing enough.
There’s zero empathy or understanding from senior management. The moment you try to explain your side or stand up for yourself, the narrative flips — they’ll say you should have refused the work (though the pressure to accept is real) or they’ll question your efficiency. It’s a blame-shifting system designed to protect management and not support employees. Managers here only manage downwards, not upwards, even though managing expectations is part of their job. They should not just pressure designers and project teams but also manage expectations upwards — that’s missing here. Leads often turn a blind eye to these issues, and there’s a culture of public humiliation and insults, which makes things worse.
The company should focus on internal management, employee well-being, and culture rather than the façade they promote on LinkedIn. Honestly, I believe the only people doing a good job are the marketing team, because they manage to get eyeballs on LinkedIn — that’s where the company thrives, not in actual work. All projects look the same, because they’re stuck in old ways of working, old design styles, and you won’t learn much.
They also constantly refer to the employment agreement policies, which are very unfair and one-sided. If they hired an actual lawyer to review them, you’d find loopholes that only benefit the employer. It’s not even in line with labor laws — for example, requiring notice periods even when employees are on probation, which is a huge red flag. Their agreement is heavily tilted in their favor, and they lean on it when justifying their unfair practices.
There are some talented people, but the system doesn’t let them thrive. If you value mental health, work-life balance, or basic fairness — this isn’t the place for you.
Micromanagement, toxic leadership, overwork, salary deductions, no empathy, outdated design practices, no upward management, unfair and one-sided employment policies, public humiliation and insults from CEO.
