Public Relations

As everyone knows that zomato is now hiring 800 employees after two months of a mass layoff, and exit of senior profiles like VP and CTO.

Let me tell you the truth about the founder. He is an opportunist. He doesn't give a shit about the culture or any employee. The company is built on the death of many riders and cheating with low-wage workers.

Timing- Isn't it a bit weird that a company that did a mass layoff two months back is now hiring? Seeing that many employees got laid off from the top-tier company. It is a great time to employ smart folks as the hiring competition in the market is at its lowest. Or the mass layoff that happened previously was planned with the thought of hiring again next year with very little competition and desperate candidates. 

Layoff: In zomato, it's hire and fire culture. I have seen many of my friends leave even after performing well. Honestly, sometimes I don't even feel human. It's expected from employees to start their day early and go late at night. If you want to leave early (around 6 or 7), you should have a solid reason for doing that. Here code release happens late at night due to less traffic. So it's expected of you to be available all the time.

Incompetent Managers- I have worked with two managers here. Both know the existing system as they were once an IC building that system. The issue with these people is that they grew up the ladder because they were the only ones left behind in the team. They lack real-world system knowledge. I have previously worked at amazon, and I know the team lead level there. But here it's like jo ruk gaya vo raja hai. It's hard to work with these people as they lack proper estimations of the projects and at the end of the day. The ICs have to face the wrath of the product teams.

People who are planning to join the company. Please do join, as working 24/7 you would learn a lot in a very short period of time. Also, the culture is team dependent, so you might get a team with chill environment.

Github India engineering completely laid off

If we look at layoff trends in India, then late stage IPO headed startups are doing it to boost profitability, or mid to early stage ones where they're trying to fit into a viable biz model. some mid sized MNCs also did layoffs where they have seen hit to their books.. all in all, crux was similar - to boost efficiency and eliminate redundancy.
Then comes the companies with their support teams in india or US/EU banks and their ops outsourced in India.. i mean if you got friends in these firms you would understand how chillax they're about this.

Take the example of AmEx...there's so much slack in the company, got few friends there and all of them don't work more 4 hours a day and that too most of the work some excel and next to shit level of python/sql while their salary in almost 90-95% of avg market (similar to what top paying startups).. Along with that teams are operating at 150% of strength so wlb is heaven there. story is similar with folks in similar US based support ops in india (citi, jp morgan, mastercard, some service based orgs etc)

but look the irony of overall market.. you should be efficient and scared about your job as long you're into startups and Indian firms but once you make it captive or offshore centres of these US based firms.. you're life is chill, relax, no bad wlb, practically no layoffs. so you won't find these folks scrambling across GV or fishbowl or like that and getting stressed about seeing how other folks feel when one of the closer startups decided to restructure 

(i am frustrated because i once let go a offer of top US fintech company to go for a startup and now all i have is regrets given how the events across startup ecosystem are folding like layoffs across Fk, swiggy etc.. and not only layoffs but in general WLB and culture has taken a huge huge hit ::///// ) well it is what it is i guess then :,)
