Difference between Lala company and professionally run company?

Difference between Lala company and professionally run company?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

A generic name for family-run businesses in India, 'lala companies' have unique attributes—great rewards…and greater punishment, if the lala stops liking your face!
What are the key differences between MNCs and Lala companies? One main difference will be the management. MNC's are likely to have more stress on the performance (at least for the selection process) while the management in the other companies (mostly) may be guided by relationships (to the owners) or loyalty.

What are some Top Lala companies to avoid in India? Do share your experiences if you had the misfortune of working in one.

What are some Top Lala type companies to avoid?

Software Engineer

About me: Full Stack Dev (~2 YOE) focused on web performance. Some experience in Blockchain

Current Company:
- A small startup based out of Singapore
- 18LPA base
- Remote and Async, very chill
- Not much interesting problem left to solve now
- Company not doing very well financially
- Works directly with the founder, handles everything tech.

The company that gave me offer:
- A small startup registered in Singapore, but everyone works from Delhi (Dwarka)
- 22 LPA base
- 5 days fully office, no WFH
- Web3 company, so not very sure about the future
- Not much information available online about the work culture or tech team
- LinkedIn shows only ~6 employees

What would you advice?
It would have been best if I would have stayed at my current org, but then the work there does not interest me anymore. 
But if I move to the new company it will be a bet as I don’t know anything about the company culture, and also it is completely WFO.
Should I wait for better offer? But then I am afraid looking at the current condition of job market.

Confusing Career Decision

I am working at an European company. Previously my manager was non Indian. Some re org happened, and I got an Indian manager.

Man, I cannot tell you how many times I thought of resigning in the last 3 months. I think it’s in the genes.

For instance, I informed that I would be on leave on 26th dec, given that 23, 24 are sat and sun and 25 is Christmas.

They asked me if I can be on on call till 25th, as I’m only on leave on 26th

Like wtf, who thinks this way!!

If you can, skip working for an Indian manager

Former/current employees at Navi, please do share your experience working with Navi technologies . Pretty new start up and therefore I assume it would be crazy. But do share your opinion on the work culture, growth, opportunities etc…Thanks

Hows is Wheelseye as a company to work for? Some recruiter reached out and mentioned they are profitable. Though it’s a six days a week. High appreciate if some who has worked or if you know someone to provide some inputs on Wheelseye culture, company trajectory, growth, payscale etc

Any review of Wheelseye, logistics firm out of Gurgaon

Growth Manager

NCR based startup are mostly lala run startup. recently a founder didn’t know what’s their interview process or why they want to hire , after making offer , they are saying we want to close position in next 1-2 months not now. 

i pity on investor who invested in them. also one more reason to never join ncr based companies.

don’t join NCR based companies

Resigning with no job offer in hand.

There was a lala companies list floating a few months back on linkedin

There was even a GitHub repo of it, do anyone have that list ?

Do anyone have that lala companies list?

For me age is genuinely just a number. And work is worship. Yet, having people who are often my age or sometimes 10-20 years older than me reporting to me - becomes a discussion. Why is “age” even a discussion if one has proved their merit and mettle?

In a country with a growing young population, we have some randomly contrasting values. 

Of course, basic respect for all is just a fundamental in the team’s culture. 

Do you think an employee should “respect” another employee just by the virtue of age?

Ageism at workplace?

Head Of Growth

Do anyone else think PMs aren't very good at the things they are supposed to do.
It is evident from failing products across industry.
Any views??

Are PMs even revelant?

So this company posted a job listing on LinkedIn looking for a UX Designer with minimum 1-2 years of experience, who will have to commute to office everyday since it’s an on-site job and will get no work devices from office so he/she will have to bring their own devices too. And the salary they offer? 2.5-4 LPA max including benefits 😂🤣🤣

Do companies feel no shame before posting these listings?!

Considering there’s already too many reccos on great places to work, I am creating this thread to raise awareness - Please comment on organisations that you have worked at and don’t recco to someone who is looking to work there. Basis - Toxic culture , incompetent leadership , unstable finances or anything that makes it a bad place to work
