Is swiggy data science team really that good?
From 2-3 months I have been following different companies blogs and find swiggy data science team is quite active and doing a lot of stuff. Is this also the ground reality or just a bluff? I am asking this as I heard some news that they had layoffed a lot of people.
DS team is pretty much sorted as a platform. They did some amazing work though, as you would have read from the blogs. Currently DS team is doing some optimisations and small feature improvements for the platform components, but layoffs have severely hit the capabilities of building anything from scratch. Most teams are understaffed, and thus only taking very small projects on to their plate. Current focus is mostly on reducing infra spending. Some engineers are loaned to product engineering teams. Even the VP of DS is shared with the Delivery Org.
Have a friend who works in the Swiggy Data Science team and he won’t leave for anywhere else. As there’s a lot of data to work with and that team drives a lot of impact
Generally for DS better to work at a company that drives tonnes of consumer data
