I don’t know if it’s a pattern, but firms founded by IITs / techies have much aweful culture in India. Meesho, Razorpay, OLA. May be it’s the lack of empathy, competitiveness, leadership. Competitiveness helps them get notices initially but when the crisis strikes - the house collapses  
 IIM / ISBs have more grounded founders such as Ofbusiness, Nykaa, Urban Company, etc.

Growth Manager

Heard really bad things lately. Lot of really good leaders have left.

Product Manager

From what I've heard it's very team / team lead dependent. Have some friends who love the culture and have a great work life balance but also have 1-2 who are stuck with not a very great manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone,

I have a SDE offer from Razorpay. I have worked previously at amazon for 1 year. My team at both Razorpay and amazon is kind of new from what I have heard. I am not sure about the work culture at Razorpay, but lately I have read a lot of negative comments about razorpay in this app. At glassdoor, people are giving 5/5 rating to Razorpay. I am not sure about it. Can someone tell me how the work culture is at Razorpay? Are there frequent pips and how is the work life balance?

Thanks.

Razorpay work culture?

Director Sales

I recently got an offer from rqzorpay for SSE role. I have few questions rgarding same.  

1. How is the work culture there? 
2. Any internal politics issues? 
3. How the company's long term stability in terms of how well it will do? 
4. What is ballpark hike for same role.
5. What should be fix ctc for this role?

Razorpay offer

I've received two job offers and could use some advice on which one to choose.

Current: Software Engineer II
CTC: Around 12 LPA
YOE: Almost 3 years.

Offer 1: Product Development Engineer II, Razorpay

Offer 2: Software Engineer, Pluralsight

Both offers are in the range 18 LPA to 24 LPA and Pluralsight is the higher offer in terms of CTC. Also they seem to have more employee benefits compared to razorpay. Which offer seems more appealing based on the role, WLB, company outlook, growth etc.

Also a bit skeptical about the PDE II role at Razorpay because they mention that PDE II individuals can only advance to SDE 2 after being promoted to SDE 1 first, and then to SDE 2.

Was recently approached by Razorpay for a role at their payroll or Ezetap function.  
They are looking to hire for PM and PM 2, and I qualify for both of these roles. 
Can someone please help me out with the exact compensation for both the roles in this format : In Hand + Variable  
+ ESOPs.

Approached by Razorpay for a PM role, need Salary insights.

I'm looking to move from VC to a corporate development role. Looking for organization recommendations based on internal strategy, culture, and compensation.

Looking for recommendations for best organizations to work in a Corporate Development role

I have these 3 options to choose from for the role of content writer. The salary is more or less the same across all of them. More concerned about culture having being laid off Unacademy after just one month of joining. 

Which would be your go-to company?

Another good company which has become toxic now.

How is the role and work of product development engineer at Razorpay and how different is it from Software development engineer

How is the role of Product development engineer at Razorpay

I have got offers from Meesho, Swoggy and Razorpay for a product role. Which is better
Salary is similar in all 3 so it is not a deciding factor

Meesho vs Razorpay vs Swiggy

I am a 6 yrs experienced Software developer and part of a mid-stage startup. This is my third job; I have been working here for 3 years. I was involved here as one of the core engineers at the start in developing the overall platform, After that, my growth as an engineer stagnated for 2 years . 

Constant importance and priority are given to business requirements and hacky work getting pushed to production in the name of fast iterations and business impact every week. 

My engineering manager lacks proper engineering skills and doesn't respect engineers even after their impact on the company and constantly keeps saying the engineering team doesn't contribute to the revenue of the company despite us pushing work that improves business positively. 

Last year around November, around 80% of the engineering team was subtly suggested to start looking out for work (basically a soft layoff) because management was too scared of a social media backlash

Due to all this,2 years' worth of technical debt has accumulated on the overall codebase and apart from giving justification for every code improvement that we try to make there, we still have to work on business/product requirements. 

My growth as an engineer has stopped and I am worried about missing out on the latest developments in the tech industry, especially with AI in the picture, and want to make my skillset somewhat AI-proof. I have come back to hands-on coding this year , so that's a positive start. I am considering taking a 3-4 month break after resigning from my company to study, develop side projects, develop a portfolio etc

Has anyone else been in this boat ? How did you come out strong?

Side Effects of working at startups

I’m a PM with 2yoe
Current CTC:  21LPA (plus 10 stocks, vesting schedule 4y)

InMobi: 28LPA (26.5 base + 1.5 in other compensations, stock match with similar vesting)
Razorpay: 30 LPA (2l perf bonus and stock match)

I’ve heard InMobi has a better culture over Razorpay. 
Any thoughts?

Evaluate offers from InMobi and Razorpay

Is there any company that has "slow paced work environment" ? 
Sick and tried of running the rat race in fast paced work environment.

Work life

In your opinion, which companies in your opinion have one of the best product management culture in India? Why do you think so? You may name your current company too.

Companies with best PM culture

I'll go first.

1. even healthcare
2. Hike/Rush
3. Spartan Poker
4. Ultrahuman
5. Invideo

Mention the reason too if possible.
Let's discover some hidden ones. Brownie points if you mention startups that only a few have heard of.

If you know a less-known Indian startup that is doing some crazy shit (not so obvious ones), do mention.

Your turn.

What are some cool startups (Indian) you would love to work with?

As an ex-Ultrahuman employee, I can confirm that you don’t want to work there. 
  
 The culture is cut throat. I was there for an year and I got a total of 3 weekends where I didn’t touch my laptop. 
  
 Credit where its due, founders and people are amazing, it’s just that the expectations are so high that you are constantly overworked.

Marketing Associate

Almost 50% of the org got no increments
People with "exceeds" rating got single digit increments
Only promotion cases have got early to mid double digit increments
Promotions have been significantly fewer this time, max people have been told to hold off their expectations of promotions for another year

The reasons cited were economic slowdown, other companies like Microsoft, Flipkart, swiggy, Amazon doing the same and cost cutting. I think things are getting toxic and the majority of employees have been left disappointed.
