Maybe it's all in the anticipation of the merger and similar roles across both the organisations.

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?

How's the work there for an SDE 2? 
Do they pay well? 
What's the salary range for an SDE 2?
Do you have to go office daily? 
How's the engineering culture?

What do people think of JioCinema?

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.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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.

AMA: Quit my job as a Product Manager at Jio within 2 months

Frankly it is quite shitty, the entire UX. It is down quite frequently (at least for me), the homepage itself doesn't load just shows a black screen with the ghost loading for titles, a lot of the times the posters for movies are interchanged etc etc. 
I feel like if viacom18 engineers do some engineering rather than giving each other medals on twitter and shitting all over twitter spaces, the platform might become better.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am looking to resign from my current job and hold multiple offers for Analytics role. I have primarily zeroed in on JioCinema for a Data Analyst/ Data Scientist role & Noon for an Assistant Manager - Analytics role. What can you tell me about the culture in these 2 companies. Looking for honest reviews only from current/ ex employees. I have offer from an upcoming fintech startup also but not considering due to toxic leaders there ( figured from the interview ).  Please share some honest opinion.

What is your review of Noon.com & Viacom18 (JioCinema)?

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?

3. How much of engineering knowledge growth can I expect there?

Thanks!

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.

Does anyone have any experience with or knowledge about Viacom18/ Jio Cinema with regards to culture, financial perks and quality of work - especially after the acquisition? I am evaluating an opportunity in their strategy team. TIA

Consultant

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.
