Thats how they have operated for decades 

1. Poach top talent
2. Pay them soo high (only top ones) that they get trapped as no one else will offer same money 

3. Make them do donkey work for lifetime till they retire

Analyst

they are building a top notch engineering team poaching top talent from competition.

Does anyone have any idea how much are they offering to engineers? They've been poaching a lot of Hotstar people. How has the hike been over there?

The breadth of things, and the speed at which Jio rolls out successful ventures is crazy!

Hi Grapevine, 

I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target. 

Here to chat with you about my journey in startups, leading engineering teams, and products at scale, among other things.

Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

I'm Arnav Gupta, Director of Engineering at Jio Cinema. Ask me anything!

Hotstar manged 6-7cr users.
Jio or sports 18 group can't manage even 2cr users.

they should poach hotstar team or get AWS services...

There should be penalty for ruining experience of consumers.

Reliance group Jio Cinema failed big-time.

What do people think of JioCinema?

3.2 Cr concurrency on JioCinema for IPL final. What a great achievement!  
 
Disney Star/Star Sports has already sub-licensed their TV broadcasting rights of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 to Zee. Should Disney+ Hotstar also sub-license their digital rights to JioCinema? Hoping it will cross 3.2 Cr during Ind vs Pak.

Should JioCinema take ICC ODI World Cup 2023 digital rights?

Has anyone been through the jiocinema hiring process off late. Wanted to know what kind of questions I can expect in the bar raiser round. HR said it's techno managerial round.

JioCinema SDE 2

I know JIO Cinema has a great engineering team and lots of money but i really don't like the product. UI feels cluttered, livestream also feels pixalated anyone else feels the same. I really liked hotstar honestly and i was expecting jiocinema would be same as the tech team is pretty much same.

JIO Cinema hot take.

Folks, I have an offer from Jio Cinema for SDE2 role.  I have a few questions:
1. Is it a safe company to join wrt layoffs?
2. How's the scene right now?
3. How much of engineering knowledge growth can I expect there?

Thanks!

I applied for the opening at JPL (Jio Pvt Ltd) in June of last year. Received the interview call on 4th July and concluded the entire process with the final HR round on 17th August (already painfully slow).

This was followed by a period of complete silence from the HR's end, which finally broke on 30th September (after probably 30+ follow-ups) when they gave me a verbal offer and gave me confidence for the final offer release within a few days.

Well, the final offer came on 27th December 2023, close to 3 months after the verbal offer (again, after probably 40+ follow-ups). Joined on 16th January 2024 (due to some emergency), and was treated to a GREAT campus in Navi Mumbai. --And this is probably where everything good with JPL ends.

After spending 2 days, I understand that things are not what I expected from any Product organisation, and that I made the wrong decision. 

Gave myself 30 days to ensure the feelings were backed by more experiences, and I'm not acting impulsively. Day 31, I started interviewing with other organisations, and fortunately was able to get in touch with the HR from another organisation that I rejected for Jio, and they were kind enough to resend the offer letter.

Dropped the bomb on 8th March 2024, startling everyone because people usually don't like leaving their comfortable lives at Jio. My L1 and L2 aligned on a 14 days notice period, but the "smartasses" in the HR department thought its a great idea for me to serve the entire notice period of 60 days, and thus I'm stuck here till 6th May 2024.

Opening the forum for people with any amount of experience to ask questions about the hiring process, the culture, the turn-off, the decision to quit, ANYTHING.
