Probation is very common but in most of the companies it is for 3 months only

We had 6 month probation for 6.5LPA.
For 10x the money you can definitely endure that 😪

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.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently received an offer where they’ve stated I’ll have to join on a 3 months probation period. 

Is this normal? 
I haven’t ever seen this before for Mid-Senior Level employees.

Is Probation Period still a thing?

Account Executive

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.

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.

A 2 yrs old small B2C startup has put the following conditions along with offer letter to my friend: 

1. 6 months probation period.
2. 7 days notice period during probation.
3. 7 leaves during probation.
4. ESOPs will be given after 3 months of performance evaluation. 
5. No WFH (might get on situation basis), might need to work on Saturdays as well if required.

there are about 15 tech team members, they are in the growth phase right now.

are these conditions normal for a small startup? 

what else does he need to find before joining?

Is this a Red Flag ?

Senior Software Engineer

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I want to know if there are consequences associated with quitting a company in just 3 weeks.

I've joined an early stage startup as one of the first few hires in the product team. The pay and work is reasonably okay. WLB is also good. But one of the companies I was interviewing during my NP from called me back, conducted one more interview and now I have a better offer in hand. This new company is a fintech giant and objectively it makes no sense for me leave this offer. 

I'm stuck in a situation now where I'm getting super anxious to initiate this conversation with my current manager about leaving in just 3 weeks. Can someone help me with this? Please share your experiences if possible. 

Thanks a lot.

Can I leave a company after just 3 weeks of joining?

One of my known has joined Infosys last month and want to resign due to medical conditions. In this case what would be the notice period?
FYI- No line written in offer letter which tells about notice period during probation. 
Any leads would be helpful. Thank you

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

Should I switch on 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.

Funny interview at a startup

I have 1.7 years of experience.
In the 1st company I worked  for 13 months and then I switched.
My 2nd company is the best company till now I have ever worked but unfortunately got laid off within 6 months.
Now I have recently joined a new organisation and it's been a month now but due to the toxic work culture and bad team I don't want to stay here.
The problem is that it's been only 1.7 years and now I am looking for the 4th organisation to switch.
Is that fine? And especially will it be easy for me to justify the new organisation for the frequent switch.

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?

Probation clause doubt

How many days of probation and notice period are required?

There's no probation period for anyone who works with us at Blinkit. Additionally, we do not require Blinkers to serve notice periods.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi everyone, I have 2 year of product experience (1.5 year full time & 6 month of internship). I left my past company to start my own venture, though it didn't work out as planned I sold the MVP and joined a startup. It has been 1 week, and I am not liking the culture so I am planning to switch. 

I wanted to know will I be grilled upon why I am leaving so early and will it affect my overall profile? Also what's the general notice period during probation?

Does my profile looks bad if I quit my job during probation

So I left my job 2 months ago, the work culture and CTO was very very toxic, couldn’t handle it.

So I get offer from a startup, nice start up, good work culture, good learning. I joined this startup 15 days back. Now I got an offer from a established mid size company whose pay is 35-40% higher, it’s a substantial amount so I signed their offer letter. 

Now I wanna leave my current startup but I dont wanna burn bridges while leaving, I have a doubt that if things dont go well with the new offer, cause I left without serving notice period from the toxic one, so I have this paranoia that something might go wrong with the onboarding for the new offer. I dont wanna leave such that my current startup doesn’t even consider me for rejoining. 

I want a solid excuse for resigning, such that even if after 1 week I want to return to A, they would consider me! I am saying this because I worked my ass off for 3 months to get a job and I got a good start up, nowadays it’s hard to find decent workplace, don’t wanna end up with nothing if something goes wrong with the new one! 

HELP!! I was thinking about some family emergency so can’t continue, Any other solid reasons???

Help RESIGNING! so that I can come back! BC

What are the notice period requirements for employees at Accenture who are still in their probationary period? Even if we are in project .

Startup 2:

Very unsure about which one to choose, the offers look very similar to me.
Startup 1 has a probation of 3 months as well.
Current TC: 23

Offer evaluation

If the set expectations of the role aren’t being respected after joining the startup, is it acceptable to leave it while still in probation. What’s the consequences on reputation considering startup community is small and the word can spread and also on the referrer.

Leaving during probation

Hi Folks
I recently got an offer and the notice period over there is 60 days. In my past companies it was 30 days everywhere. Just wanted to know your opinion.

Is the 60 days notice period too much?

Mine is 90  
 I feel like drowning in Harpic
