I think this feature would have already been built and hidden from the UI this all could be a PR stunt ahead of ipo

Very much possible. The 'pilot' looked too good for a 4 hour work

Consultant

No one would risk 4hr deployment ahead of the upcoming IPO.

Software Developer

Depends on mood.  
 If I fought with someone/don't want to go out of the room, I can work for free as well on the weekends. 
 I want to have an holiday, I would not work for any amount, even on weekdays.

Early stages of career (first 3 years), I would have just  work if I was offered money.

Software Engineer

True, but after a certain position we can't say no as the task criticality varies.

Software Architect

Idk about the exact amount but if they throw good amount at me, like really good, can work ig

Design Engineer

They already had this feature in slow rollout. Even Zepto has the same but got shut down because of other priorities with higher ROI. 
  
 Swiggy was able to turn the toggle on for this during festive season. Still a risk IMO, but not that high.

@BiryaniEnthu why everyone is crying about WLB?

Hardware Engineer

I couldn't sacrifice my weekends even if my CTC is a crore, honestly. But then there will be people here thinking that with the kind of attitude I have, I'd never get to that number anyways.  
  
 The thing is, I'm unable to see tech the same way I used to. These managers have tarnished my entire perspective

I don't have an answer to the question because all this is just a pr gimmick, but while the shopping list from a photo is cool, can't they just have a shopping list that lets you select items from inventory directly? Most of us just go to the last shopping order and select from there, no?

Like he said “it was already in the pipeline”. That is not a 4 hour job and I doubt he saw the tweet exactly when he posted lol. 
  
 Work life balance at these companies is shitty, but they can’t pull off impossible tasks. 
  
 Stay away from the companies though, a friend on mine in Zomato gets to go home at 1 am every 48 hours and sleeps in the office half of the times.

Money is what it all biols down to in the end, sad reality. 
 People these days don't let go Sat and Sun while joining new org, they take Thu as last day and join new org from Friday. So that Sat and Sunday salary will be credited too.

This is reference to this Tweet - https://x.com/phanikishan/status/1850103556667310089

Gabbar singh posted a feature request on Saturday morning to all QC players.
4 hours later, Swiggy had launched a pilot version (Honestly awed nonetheless)
That also means a (or a team of developers) had to give up a Saturday coding a new feature some influencer wants ASAP, the weekend before Diwali

And since Swiggy managed in 4 hours, developers at Blinkit and Zepto too will need to burn their Saturday to satisfy this rat race

I know the developers here are paid huge sum, but what is that price to give up WLB/Family time/festivals for work?

What is your price to let go of WLB?

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

Rant on Swiggy wlb

This is all trickling down from the Leadership, they are trying to cut down costs by any means. Already had one round of layoffs, now they are doing silent layoffs in the form of PIPs. 
  
 Also, Leaders have lost the long term focus and are trying to find out more and more short term projects related to profitability.  
  
 There was always this pressure of work, but in the past 7-8 months this has become unbearable with no empathy in the organisation.

How is the work culture at Swiggy (instamart) marketing team? Is there WLB?

Program Manager

I work with Swiggy and as many of you already know the culture has become extremely toxic in Swiggy. Expectations of working 12-16 hours per day, be available on weekends, play dirty politics, blame other to save yourself , get really really aggressive, all of this with a constant fear of losing your job. The leaders are saying this culture change is required to achieve high growth targets for IPO.  They say a culture like this is required to raise the bar & keep people on their toes. But looking at Byjus it appears that this may help in the short run but eventually things fall apart. Employees are human resources not machines. But these toxic leaders don’t really care, as there is always some people available to replace the previous lot who left due to the toxicity. I really hope the leadership of companies like Swiggy open their eyes & realise this before it’s too late for their business. 

And people who are considering to join Swiggy. BEWARE. This isn’t the place it used to be. People have left within 1-2 months because of this culture. And nearly EVERYONE is looking out to switch.

Do extreme toxicity & inhuman working hours actually deliver growth?

Hi folks I just wanted to know how the senior analyst role at Swiggy is in terms of quality of work, growth, wlb and anything else. Put some light on this🙌🏼

Swiggy senior business analyst role review

Analyst

1. They are the most overpaid people in India.
2. They have no work life balance and they don't even know what it means.
3. They think they are the best at everything, but they can't do anything right.
4. They are always complaining about their job and how much they hate it.
5. They are never satisfied with their salary or benefits package.
6. They are always looking for new jobs because they think they deserve better than what they currently have.

Would you like to add anything else here?

Software Engineers as seen by a Product Manager...

PM as seen by Engineers: 
 1. Doesn't do anything other than throwing random jargons 
 2. Can't explain what they do other than say how they are not Program manager or something else

Product Manager

Is Swiggy culture similar to zepto?

Category Manager

Finding it difficult to get permanent WFH now. Can you guys please mention the name of your company if they offer permanent WFH. 
I'm currently working at swiggy and they offer WFH.

List of remote companies

Raftlab. Pay may be less 
  
 I am planning to create an entire list of remote Indian companies by going through all the posts available but not getting time.

Engineering Manager

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from.

Lets discuss!!! I will go first -

I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.

Why did you resign?

Amount of effort i put and the salary i got was not proportional. 14 hrs to get 30k salary as a fresher. I had understood that I deserve better - thus i moved to get better pay and better wlb (which I got in swiggy)
