Oh, congrats on the job! To The New is decent, but not exactly Google. Growth is okay, but don't expect to become the next Steve Jobs overnight. Switching later? Possible, but not a cakewalk.

So i started working with zee5 as a Smart TV developer right out of college. After about 2 years, in March 2024, layoffs happened due the merger between Sony and Zee was called off.

So i was looking for Software developer
opportunities, after multiple rejections, hundreds of application, got a decent offer from To The New for the same position of Smart TV developer. I am also getting some raise on the previous CTC, which i am glad considering the current market situation.

So i just wanted to ask about the org To The New, how its work culture is ? Also like what are the growth prospects there ? Also since technically it provides service to other big techs. 
So will it be an issue if i want to switch to a better product based company.

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Applied through instahyre, got instant message but with lay offs going on and startups taking on VC funding, do you think it's a good place to work? 

In startups I have been people just care about getting it done and not getting it done correctly and pushing shit if it breaks just to get off the hooks.

Is it like this? Which companies are like zerodha in terms of developing stuff while looking at the bigger picture?

How is upstox for developers?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

looking for thoughts on org culture and leadership quality at ZET

Hi folks, wanted to understand about the Zeta work culture and WLB. Any zetanauts here?

Zeta Work culture?

Painful to see so many startups run out of money/ shut down. Is your company doing good?

Which companies are hiring for which role? What are some secret strategies that you guys would suggest to get in?

[LIVE] Which companies are hiring in February?

Which companies will pay 55LPA+ TC for 3YOE and have good WLB? Are there any negatives of the company that you are suggesting?

Zee - Fallout of Failed Merger with Sony

Corporate Strategist

I applied for the opening at JPL (Jio Pvt Ltd) in June of last year. Received the interview call on 4th July and concluded the entire process with the final HR round on 17th August (already painfully slow).

This was followed by a period of complete silence from the HR's end, which finally broke on 30th September (after probably 30+ follow-ups) when they gave me a verbal offer and gave me confidence for the final offer release within a few days.

Well, the final offer came on 27th December 2023, close to 3 months after the verbal offer (again, after probably 40+ follow-ups). Joined on 16th January 2024 (due to some emergency), and was treated to a GREAT campus in Navi Mumbai. --And this is probably where everything good with JPL ends.

After spending 2 days, I understand that things are not what I expected from any Product organisation, and that I made the wrong decision. 

Gave myself 30 days to ensure the feelings were backed by more experiences, and I'm not acting impulsively. Day 31, I started interviewing with other organisations, and fortunately was able to get in touch with the HR from another organisation that I rejected for Jio, and they were kind enough to resend the offer letter.

Dropped the bomb on 8th March 2024, startling everyone because people usually don't like leaving their comfortable lives at Jio. My L1 and L2 aligned on a 14 days notice period, but the "smartasses" in the HR department thought its a great idea for me to serve the entire notice period of 60 days, and thus I'm stuck here till 6th May 2024.

Opening the forum for people with any amount of experience to ask questions about the hiring process, the culture, the turn-off, the decision to quit, ANYTHING.
