Why most of the apps developed are shitty?

Folks, I am considering a role at jiomart. The role is pretty good (in product space). I wanted to understand how the culture and work life balance is. P.S: pls dont give the generic response of it being a reliance firm so blah blah

The app is full of bugs, looks like we are the testers and the company is getting feedbacks for free.

Hi Grapevine, I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target. Here to chat with you about my journey in startups, leading engineering teams, and products at scale, among other things. Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

Majority of Indian startups has toxic work culture and the same is not true for any US or Europe based startup. Indian startups just copy paste ideas from the west and apply it to Indian context. We don't have original product barring few such as Postman and all. Why is it so and how we can improve the situation?

Hey I was put on pip in my current organisation, I am looking for a new job , but don't want to join another place where I am bound to fail. I will be some taking time in finding the next job, not in a hurry. Let me know which companies have a decent culture and also pays good. TC: 32 lpa YOE: 3

Do you think that most of the edtechs for College students and professionals just dump a ton of web developers, who have also crammed up DSA. Once, a Scaler sales person called me and we talked for almost an hour. I said that I'm already working in a product company and was making a decent (decent only, not in par with the usual SDE salaries in tier 1 tech companies). He still wanted me to sign up 😂 I said that, I'm willing to sign up only if they have a detailed course on a topic (development using Java, and Kotlin). He said that they do web development only because it's a vetted curriculum and easy to learn and get a job. I asked why do they charge a ton of money while they've made the curriculum public, and the response was that it's for the faculties and the mentors available. It doesn't make sense to me, as we can connect easily with most of the people from any of the companies (and usually a good number of people are just waiting for someone to reach out to them). Where will this end? A ton of web developers who are just there because of the salary? Some says that India is not yet home to good deep tech companies, and I believe that this is the reason for the same. I strongly feel that a good number of the software developers are just there because they got into it without exploring further options, and because of the pay (not everyone)

Hey guys, So i was asking questions to one engineer manager about quality analyst. I asked her how sdet as field in general as i already have 5 years of experience in QA field. Learning side by side coding for a next switch. She said do something else except QA as in her experience, her previous companies do not have QA team itself. So i am little confused as a career path. So wanted to ask how you guys software at your workplace and does sdet role will have significance in this market in future?

Hola people! Today I am gonna tell what is happening in Swiggy since last couple of months. This is a everyday story in Swiggy’s private feed on this app. So thought to enlighten others as well. Sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy the rant of a frustrated employee. For everyone’s understanding, work culture in Swiggy has gone for a toss. Employees are working day and night to meet the never ending and unexpected goals set by our leaders. All because of the next year planned IPO. Many talented folks have left the company and many are in the process. New CTO is trash and super aggressive. Empathy died a million times the moment he became the CTO. The only goal which the company has now is to deliver FAST! Nothing else matters. This is for literally every org! Micromanagement has significantly increased and you are expected to provide update for every damn thing! Employee motivation level is literal 0 and no one gives a f**k about anything. Some people are put in PIP and there is no chance of coming back from there. Cost cutting is being done on whatever means possible to achieve profitability. Number of outages in the last few months have significantly increased and most of the employees are working in the weekends to complete their assigned tasks. People are just surviving and will leave the moment any opportunity knocks at the door. Its sad to see a company who was once known for its work culture is now struggling on almost every front. 💔

I have see many lists of places to work at. Let’s create a list of companies not to work at. Please post the company name and the experience of working their.

I do not know why, but the startups at Bangalore (not unicorns), which are reputed but established but other startups saying they feature innovation , product-based innovation, increasing innovation, etc are all shit as most of their revenue comes from clients, and once they walk out, they are closed up, In last week, 3 of my friends got laid off and there are really tough times ahead. Any one here has experience with shitty startups in Bangalore?
