What’s happening in zomato? CPOs don’t resign in 1 day- Grapevine

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Amazon is asking voluntarily resignations from its employees.

Amazon internal layoffs

An energized Deepinder Goyal is reworking the food delivery business. The result so far has been a culture change that has sparked senior and middle management exits.

Inside the chaos at Zomato - The Morning Context

Chaos at Zomato

Product Manager

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

As everyone knows that zomato is now hiring 800 employees after two months of a mass layoff, and exit of senior profiles like VP and CTO.

Let me tell you the truth about the founder. He is an opportunist. He doesn't give a shit about the culture or any employee. The company is built on the death of many riders and cheating with low-wage workers.

Timing- Isn't it a bit weird that a company that did a mass layoff two months back is now hiring? Seeing that many employees got laid off from the top-tier company. It is a great time to employ smart folks as the hiring competition in the market is at its lowest. Or the mass layoff that happened previously was planned with the thought of hiring again next year with very little competition and desperate candidates. 

Layoff: In zomato, it's hire and fire culture. I have seen many of my friends leave even after performing well. Honestly, sometimes I don't even feel human. It's expected from employees to start their day early and go late at night. If you want to leave early (around 6 or 7), you should have a solid reason for doing that. Here code release happens late at night due to less traffic. So it's expected of you to be available all the time.

Incompetent Managers- I have worked with two managers here. Both know the existing system as they were once an IC building that system. The issue with these people is that they grew up the ladder because they were the only ones left behind in the team. They lack real-world system knowledge. I have previously worked at amazon, and I know the team lead level there. But here it's like jo ruk gaya vo raja hai. It's hard to work with these people as they lack proper estimations of the projects and at the end of the day. The ICs have to face the wrath of the product teams.

People who are planning to join the company. Please do join, as working 24/7 you would learn a lot in a very short period of time. Also, the culture is team dependent, so you might get a team with chill environment.

Reality check at Zomato

Founder

Just like last year, this year too...
Somehow found out about it via news. There was chatter about it over the last couple of days, but didn't think it could just happen.

It's a long weekend now and not even sure when people will be informed :/

Layoffs happening at Swiggy - 400 of us

Please pray for me to get laid off. Want to get rid of this shit. At least will get some severance this way.

There are multiple VPs and Directors leaving in parallel. Is this a mass exodus of senior leadership any indication of the state of the company?

Dale Vaz, Swiggy CTO has resigned

Looks like Zomato is at it again - quarterly layoffs (pun intended). Have come to know from a current employee that they are firing people with great skill set and work only because they are at a higher CTC and are replacing older folks with new freshers at a lower pay. Zomato never fails to surprise.

Project Manager

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

Swiggy to cut 8-10% of workforce

Cloud Architect

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I joined Zomato for a work life balance as I was from the Finance industry and used to work 6-6.5 days a week for 10-11 hours a day. I'm enjoying my time here but it's an individual role in sales and I'm provided 8 LPA for Tier 2 city. My peers are getting a little higher but my colleagues from the previous industry are making 12 LPA on average. I don't want to go back to finance, plus I want to engage in a team leading role. Can anyone suggest?

What after Zomato?
