Unacademy Lead Engineer salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Base pay was good for fresher but no benefits at all.

Dislikes

Terrible company, no culture, no future, no vision. No growth. No career advise. They just shuffle you around teams at their whim. Excruciatingly stupid - DU type people are running the show there in the CTO office, calling themselves project managers. These are the people who haven't ever seen the paper of a competitive exam.

Likes

They are the Pay masters. Very aggressive approach. Founders are involved. Startup’s should learn from them. Really aggressive.

Dislikes

No strategy. Always on pilot mode. Highly top to bottom driven company. CEO needs good people to build the company and should be ‘humane’ in approach. Insulting people for your pleasure makes you a small human being.

Likes

Salary on time only for onroll employees.

Dislikes

Frequent layoffs after admission season over mostly during July to December. No appraisals for employees, poor management for business growth, dictatorship, no funds for vendor payments, off roll employees. Late night meetings till 2:00 AM morning.. Untrained teachers, poor teaching pedagogy.

... concerning issues at Unacademy that affect work environment and overall morale. One of the main concerns is the delayed salary payments. We are asked to teach in other branches as well, but they don't even provide travelling expenses. We, Educators, are referred to as 'Service Providers' instead of Employees. There is no yearly increment policy. No encashment of casual leaves. In a nutshell, there are no employee benefits for the Educators. There appears to be a tendency to hire individuals who are close relatives of those in senior positions. I found some Educators those who even don't properly teach the lesson and unable to write spellings as well. These Educators are supported a lot as they are very much obedient to those who are so called Seniors. Moreover the workplace politics are very high and it often feels like a toxic environment. It's disheartening to see colleagues being mocked, or talked about negatively behind their backs. Such behaviour undermines teamwork and respect among employees. I can finally suggest all the educators over there not to lock yourselves in this prison wherein we don't even get any recognition.
