Swiggy PM vs Headout PM - Which offer should I choose?
I've received offers for the PM role from both Swiggy and Headout and am uncertain which one to choose. Although I know the team function and dynamics play a crucial role, my information on that is limited. Here are my priorities for the next stint:
1) Good work culture & WLB - Don't want 12hr+ workdays, and random layoffs affecting my mental peace. From what I've gathered, Headout seems to better in this area. I've heard that Swiggy has a history of silent layoffs and that teams suffer from poor WLB.
2) Good learning curve - I’m looking for a role with less firefighting and more in-depth problem-solving. While this can vary by team, I've heard that Headout places a strong emphasis on professional growth by mentoring and providing quality projects.
3) Future exit opportunities - Swiggy's brand name is a significant factor, potentially offering more and better future opportunities compared to Headout.
Please help me with any reviews/experiences that you have for the product culture at both these orgs so that I'm able to make a more informed decision!

Headout Interview Experience
I interviewed at Headout a few months ago with their Talent and Culture team. Definitely liked the way their entire process was.
Listing down what I liked and what could be improved on -
+ves:
- Role clarity was great. They put the ball in my court as well and went to the extent to ask if I was sure I wanted to take up the role.
- The interview process was quite well defined. Had a round with the hiring manager and the next round with leadership. The HM round was online and the leadership round was onsite.
- The onsite experience was great. I was introduced to the team over lunch and then was called into the interview. I was given a live case which was quite interesting.
- They had little notes in all their meeting rooms for candidates to feel comfortable which I think was a wonderful gesture for nervous people to calm down a little.
-ves:
- I was given a case after the 2nd interview which seemed a little bit odd. Usually it is something that happens before interviews with leadership. Although, the case was great! Just the order of things that I would've loved to be changed.
------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, they seemed like a great company to work for. Unfortunately, I couldn't get through their interviews but I would 10/10 recommend an interview process like that for a company of their scale.
