Is Probation Period still a thing?

How common is probation in big tech firms or startups, I am about to join a startup and they have probation of six months mentioned in offer letter, is it a red flag or is it pretty common. During probation, they wont have any notice period. Tc 65 Yoe 4

Have an offer from a company with a probation period of 3 months (SDE) Want to understand the things to be wary of in probation? And how is it evaluated? What has to go wrong to get fired? Heard from a couple of folks it's nothing serious, but the way terms and conditions are defined for probation looks more like something to definitely keep in mind.

What is the notice period in Cyient when someone joins recently and in probation period?

Have received an offer from a company and the joining date is in 3 days. However another company which is better has reached out and they have 3 rounds of interviews which I need to clear. Should I give a try for that company and ask them to schedule the interviews fast? If I get through in that org will it be okay if I say no to this company whose offer I already hold.

Hi everyone, I have been working in this company as a junior software developer for more than 8 months. This is my second company, and I had a probation period after joining this one. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with my manager because he was a fan of micromanagement. He didn't like anything I did and said that I was worthless, didn't know anything, and was stupid. He didn't have any trust in me, and I faced this day-to-day in office life. As a result, I lost my confidence, developed anxiety and depression, and even thought about suicide about a month ago. I am currently going to a therapist every week for my depression and anxiety. I worked really hard and even worked overtime and some weekends during my probation period. However, after 6 months, during my review, my manager said that I didn't work on anything and extended my probation to 3 months. I started my career 2 years ago, and I wonder if this is normal in IT career. I am looking for a job change right now, but I always get the question from most of the HR "why do you move too early?" and I don't know how to answer this question. Please help, guys.

I recently joined a company and it has been 1.5 months there and the total probation is for 3 months and the manager has made it clear to me in the starting that they can let me go off during probation anytime easily. But when I looked at the offer letter there was no provision for me to do the same. My actual problem with this company is that they make you sit in the office and complete the general shift timing which is 9 hours. Also there is an opening in Blinkit for sde1(android) on instahyre for which I want to apply as I am in love with their product and getting an opportunity to work for that product is like a dream for me. So should I take this move and apply at other org and move from here during probation

I recently got an offer from a seed stage startup for a SDE2 role. They shared the offer in a 2 liner mail. Weirdly enough they have a probation period of 3 months which could also be extended to 6 months during which there'll be no paid leaves, nothing, and you cannot be late to the office any day. I asked them to share the detailed offer letter with all these verbal probation clauses penned down and they've not replied for a week. After getting the offer, they asked me to submit my adhar card, pan card, 10th, 12th marksheet, graduation certificate, passport, birth certificate, payslips, previous offer letter, resignation mail, proof of bonuses and all sorts of documents. It's funny how they think trust only works one way. I've withdrawn the application as there were too many red flags during the entire process. I really wish the Indian corporate system had an open culture where trust is bidirectional and not act like we're at the mercy of their job.

My friend has got an offer from the company abc. The company abc asked him to join within 2 days. Now there is a better company xyz with an offer. The thing is there is no probation clause in the company abc and notice period is of 90 days. Will there be any issues in leaving the company abc and joining the company xyz? Will they ask to serve the notice period of 90 days?
