Had Potential But Squandered It - Anonymous employee InMobi Employee Review

They do look out for you financially and hitting goals (roughly) each quarter, well respected among leadership, like the people I work with

You definitely have to be a self starter and good at working in a place with many changes fast

- Colleagues were smart, collaborative, and supportive. They made the day-to-day challenges more manageable and and always willing to help each other succeed. - Daily lunches in the office were a nice perk and helped reduce personal expenses. - Competitive pay. Decent benefits.

- Performance management processes are frequently applied inconsistently and without clear intent to develop or support employees. Rather than fostering growth or providing actionable coaching, the process is often used as a tactic to manage people out, particularly when accommodations or personal advocacy are involved. - Leadership sometimes promotes a culture of control over collaboration. New managers can come in and assert authority without first understanding team dynamics, established workflows, or communication norms. This creates unnecessary friction, mistrust, and dysfunction. - Micromanagement and punitive practices are often disguised as professional development, but lack true coaching or mentorship. Issues like formatting or phrasing are escalated to HR-level concerns, while real systemic problems go unaddressed. Employees who speak up or ask clarifying questions are often penalized instead of supported. - Employees returning from medical leave are especially vulnerable. Instead of creating a supportive reintegration plan, some leaders choose to document routine issues as performance failures, ignoring broader context. This feels retaliatory and designed to build a paper trail rather than help employees succeed. - HR does not function as an impartial resource. Employee concerns are routinely brushed aside, and when legal risks arise (ex: related to medical disclosures), severance and extended benefits are offered as a way to avoid potential claims, not as a gesture of goodwill. - Leadership culture is rooted in fear and internal politics. Decisions often appear politically motivated, prioritizing optics over ethics or accountability. - Some managers lack proficiency in basic tools (e.g., Excel, Teams, reporting systems), but still micromanage and penalize employees for unclear or minor issues. - In-office policy is inconsistent and unfair. Employees are expected to be in the office five days a week while others, including some senior leaders, work fully remote. This undermines morale and eliminates flexibility. - Career development is stagnant. There is no mentorship culture, no clear growth path, and performance feedback is often vague or retroactive. - Systems and tools break frequently with little urgency to fix them. Internal processes are clunky, reporting is unreliable, and cross-functional collaboration is poor. Meetings often lack follow-through or leadership accountability. - Policies are not applied evenly, and there are legitimate concerns about how employee issues are handled. There is little trust in HR, and many decisions feel legally questionable or ethically troubling.
