That sounds horrible. Software estimation is not a science and some say is impossible. To hold people to their estimates or else they've "failed" is toxic.
Just a personal opinion, but I hate daily standups. It's agile theatre. Nobody listens to what others are saying; they're too busy trying to make up good sounding stuff to say when it's their turn. I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but the general principle applies.
But sounds like it's working for your company so more power to you.
