How would you define an adarsh corporate employee?- Grapevine

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a student, and many people have suggested that a corporate job is a great career option. Can anyone explain what exactly a corporate job means? What does one need to do in a corporate job? Please explain in a very simple language because I do not get the professional lingo.

What is a corporate job?

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!

I'm Arnav Gupta, Director of Engineering at Jio Cinema. Ask me anything!

Why is jiocinema so effin horrible to use on Samsung tvs ? Just fix this shit already.

Intern

Software Developer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I graduated in May 2023 and joined a US-based remote startup as an SDE in September 2023. They don't have a physical office in India, so they hired me via Deel (https://www.deel.com/) as an independent contractor.

In the future, if I plan to make a switch, will I face any problems as all the documents state that I'm a contractor and not a full-time employee?

The full-time employees of the company also work remotely, so the experience I get is pretty much the same.

To add some more context, I participated in Google Summer of Code 2023 and received the offer to work full-time later. So it is an open source organization, and all the pull requests I make are publicly available on my GitHub profile, but I highly doubt that the HR team will consider that.

I really love working here, but if it'll create some difficulty in the future, then I might have to reconsider.

Help and suggestions would be really helpful.

Do you think it will have long term impact on my health?

What are some common stereotypes you've all encountered in Indian corporate culture?

I'll go first; the meetings that are never ending (and could have easily been an email).

Stereotypes of Indian Corporate Culture

Working late or working on weekends is a sign of hard work.

Corporate life in Dubai ain't easy

Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

What does a corporate favor look like ?

Consultant

Keeping in mind Prioritisation, I will be happy if there is a law on this

No cringe team events, rather giving them holidays whenever needed

Insurance can be forwarded from one company and can be extended after employees leave the company

Fixed wfh, wfo days in leave portal

Per hour salary after 8 hours per day

Free access to healthcare and medical

Prioritisation of employees before any organisational decision like board change, etc

Providing wfh during rainy days

3 month compensation before layoff and genuine ways to part

Separate travel allowance apart salary

Employees can choose their manager on voting basis

Fixed limit of hiring numbers per year and informing people and government on it at the year starting

Just made a list based on my experience but open to people to add and comment on opinion

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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

Slice is a known red flag. Stay away at all costs.

I am working in a founder's office role. Seekhne ko bahut kuch hain lekin kuch certainity nahin ki future mein kya hoga.

Sochta hu CAT ke liye prepare karlu lekin time commit nahin kar pa raha alas ke chakkar mein.

Ek khayal yeh bhi ata hain ki experience leke MBA karo jyada better hain ek khyal yeh bhi ata ki padhai ke saath lage lagaye aage ka ho jaye to better hain.

Dosto se baat ab bahut kam ho gayi kyoki wo log bahut busy hain 😂.

Bas aaplog batao kya chal raha.

Kya Chal Raha Zindagi Mein?

Last week I was walking downstairs near the Chai Sutta spot. I spotted many new faces/interns.
We have a cohort of interns right now some of whom will potentially get a PPO. 

Some were vaping. Some were smoking cigarettes. But fucking hell, I saw an Intern spitting Gutkha on the wall. I am not a very senior employee but I clicked a picture of that intern along with that wall. I talked to a friend of mine who is dealing with these interns and asked him to forward this incident to seniors.

Came to know today that the Intern in question will not be given a PPO. Apparently, he has submitted sub-par work throughout the internship along with shoddy behaviour with other interns. Also, came to know that he was also complained about for making regressive remarks about women. 

I wonder if people like these even deserve to be in corporate india.

Didn't give PPO to Intern because he spat Gutkha on wall

Just saw a job post about Navi City CEO. What's the salary for this role if you know.

Haven't come across one fruitful contribution of the MBA to the human race. 

Change my mind.

MBA is a master class in making humans dumber and less sensitive.

Is it okay to be average at work?
I feel I have always been very competitive in my life and it has always drained me out. When I got job I thought finally I am done with this rat race. But no, everyday I have to push so much in order to prove myself in my job which gets very overwhelming and disturbs my work life balance.
I want to ask people with experience is it okay to be an average employee?

Being average at job

Why AMA?-
New to GV. I see potential here; trying to gauge audience and perhaps I can talk about a thing or two; can definitely learn from ya’al otherwise.

Primer Qs (from some successful AMAs outside of GV)-
What tech has better future?
Is Ai going to kill our jobs?
How to increase Tc 5x, 10x, 20x+?
Startups vs big corps?

I’ve seen it firsthand that the investments and luxuries grow at far bigger rate than your comp, Can’t complain though.

So I interviewed for a SaaS company serving US clients. I got selected after three rounds (basic email chat, built a project, technical coding round at last) and got selected. 

Finally, it was time to discuss salary and joining date with the CEO. He was impressed by the about section on my portfolio, where I mentioned that I like to go on treks, hikes, read books, lift weights, go on a run, etc. During our call he mentioned that everyone at the startup works 6-7days a week, 12hrs a day and asked if I'd be fine with it as I have a "happening life".

I said that I'm not used to it but I'll manage and work in appropriate working hours. He seemed to agree on it.

But he ghosted me after that, and when I pinged him in the email thread; he said he's not moving ahead with me because my other properties won't allow me to "work as much as other employees".

How am I supposed to react to this lol

I didn't get selected because... I have a happening life?

Glad, that CEO let you live for a better opportunity

Growth Manager

I am looking for companies that rely only on work related questions and don't put emphasis on leet code style interviews

Companies that don't ask ds algo questions

Product Owner

Rant alert: 

Have you felt the same way? How many years of work ex after which you started feeling this way? 

Stability and money I’m grateful for. But I hate the constant comparison and competitiveness among peers/colleagues. Makes me want to quit and do a Teach for India fellowship. A little corporate detox. 

Wish I had become an athlete instead. I know it’s not an easy life, but It’s the kind of competitiveness I’m inclined towards. Not inclined towards the kind where you compete with people to please a company that will never care for you as a human. But people fail to recognise that, lose perspective, and lose themselves too. People have no class in this shitty world. If I have kids, they’re definitely becoming athletes and not entering this hellhole. 

Most ironically, I’m borderline considering an MBA to escape the corporate life for 2 years, but obviously I’m aware I will only get entrenched further in it due to the degree.

Corporate is not for me

Oh man. Just hoping for the day i can quit it all. Right now on the blue pill, but ek din ayega. I'm convinced only sociopaths and people with no personalities can enjoy being in this rut. Lavda build something - it's just about keeping the hamster wheel rolling.
