Damn I was trying to find articles. I guess they’ll do it in few weeks. All articles I could find was that they are trying to raise a round

15% or close to 200 folks being fired. Reason- revenue per employee to be increased. Revenue not going up so firing employees. Mainly lower level.

A few people who are in advanced stages of the process and/or have offers from slice have been asking me whether it's a good idea to join.

My answer has always been consistent and I'm posting this so that people have more clarity.

Good folks are leaving in droves which is why they are trying to fill in some roles fast.

The company doesn't have a proper CTO, with engineering being managed by two people, one the head of analytics and data science being the 'people mananger' who is highly under-qualified for the job, and the second a toxic and borderline abusive character who is the 'chief architect'.

On top of that, there are some AHs from Bizops who'll do everything to blame you if things go wrong and steal credit if things are good, making your day worse rest of the time.

The critical Glassdoor reviews are totally true, and present points in an elaborate manner, while the few positive ones are clearly planted with 1-2 lines written for each.
Plus the company is suppressing many reviews with the help of community guidelines.

Your package might have a generous ESOP component, but it is bloated and the company is looking to raise the next round at a highly diminished valuation.

There are more things in life than a few lakhs of extra base pay, for your long term well being.

I'm speaking about it openly since I left the org for a better opportunity recently and I don't want people to suffer more.

Your mental health isn't worth a slightly higher base pay in slice

Someone from my connections told that Flipkart have consulted Bain/BCG ( don't remember exactly) and are planning to fire 10% of the workforce

Anyone heard something?

This year, the increments in my company were fairly good, with an average of 21% and the highest being 30% in my team of 10 people. The average rating was 4/5. Given the current market situation, these increments can be considered decent. However, despite these figures, none of the team members seem satisfied. Last year’s increments were better, but still, this year’s numbers aren’t bad.

Considering our positive company culture and manageable work pressure, I’m curious to understand why the expectation might be so skewed. How much of an increment is generally enough to make employees happy? Were the increments really that bad, or is there something else at play here?

How much increment is enough?

Guys, i am in final year B.Tech, currently preparing for placements. 

My Parents advice is to prepare for Govt Jobs. They are fearing about the layoffs, but my aim is to get job in anyone of the MAANG.

I just want to know why layoffs happening. Is it because of the over hiring or because of the poor performance of the employees.

Please share your experience in your company too.

Why still layoffs in MAANG?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. 
Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps".
When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish.
The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees.
My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" 
 
Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously

More than 600+ people have been laid off silently at Unacademy. This round is going to continue till 30th June. 
The mental harassment and pressure is off the charts.  And the irony is that they are still hiring people from the outside while laying off current employees.
