I'm finding it difficult to understand the situation. A friend, who is a BI developer, was laid off by PayPal, and on the same day, my wife received a call from them for the same role.

Next: The hiring manager is pressuring her to complete all interview rounds (4) within 2 days, even making remarks about her inability and calling her unprofessional and showing lack of interest for not completing assignments on weekdays.

How is the current layoff situation in Paypal India. I see many vacancies being posted and was reached out by the HR for a Lead Data Scientist position. Can someone help with the organization culture, growth, opportunities, compensation etc.

More layoffs at paypal is ahead. Lot of restructuring is happening internally and morale is at all time low. Sad to see all this happening.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The amount of pride in this post (https://shorturl.at/nopPW) almost baffles me, how is it okay to ask someone to spend their time on a 'pre-interview' assignment? What if the candidate doesn't fit the budget, or the notice period is a bit too much etc. Imagine going through so much only to be laid off because "sorry we hired like crazy and need to do cost-cutting now"

I'm currently working in the payments team as Software Engineer and I'm having a hard time with my work-life balance. I'm working around 12+ hours a day and sometimes they expect on weekends too.

I'm looking for a team that has a better work-life balance in PayPal India.
If you are working in the teams with better WLB as SE, please DM me the team details so that I can switch internally, I'm open to any suggestions.

Paypal fires 2,500 employees

Org’s that conduct  6-7 rounds of interviews before rejecting a candidate.  Don’t you think the hiring process is broken ?

6-7 round interview

Guys, one of my friend is going through interviews for a late stage ecom startup. and surprisingly the hiring manager who took the one of the rounds comes to him on a call post the last round. 

bit weird from my pov since he told HR was involved at every step for scheduling interviews but now for the negotiation part directly HM has called.

Any thoughts on this? acc to me this tells a lot about the culture of the company as HRs are given less importance, HM holds more power which they can abuse to their terms. what you all viners think about this?

Program Manager

The entire team is based out of Seattle HQ. This is an ADCI position with pay in (6-7 LPA). Is this normal?

Supply Chain Manager

I have 2 options, either to take a 40% pay cut or leave the company (get laid off), what should I do? Would taking that high pay cut will lead to negative impact for my next employer?
How does companies/hr takes this while hiring?

Should i take a pay cut

Software Developer

I recently encountered a situation while job hunting in the engineering field. I applied for a role in a company where I had limited experience with their specific projects. When asked about my salary expectations, I mentioned ₹XX lakh, which seemed to surprise them.

They offered ₹10 lakh less than my expectation. I countered by suggesting ₹XX-5 lakh, with a provision to increase to ₹XX after a six-month probation, contingent on performance. They rescinded the offer without any explanation.

I'm not upset about it, as it might have been a mismatch. However, the lack of communication was puzzling. The offer was made on Thursday at 4:00 PM, with a deadline of 12 noon Tuesday after a long weekend.

For context, I was applying for an intermediate project engineer position. I have 5 years of experience, mainly in wood structures, while this role involved steel structures. The initial offer was ₹8.5 lakh.

Did I handle the negotiation poorly, or did I avoid a potential issue? Insights from others who've faced similar situations would be appreciated.

Frustrated with my job

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'll go first. I got a call for an APM role from one of the companies which did sound pretty sketchy and the recruiter was started bullying me into answering questions, when I asked to know more about the role. The recruiter was extremely unprofessional, and obviously the conversation was nowhere great. They however, did go ahead and sent me the JD and other links, etc to fill in and apply for the job. Mind you, I hadn't applied for the job. 🥲
It just was a pretty sour conversation which had left me in an uncertain situation. Any similar experiences?

Weird recruiter experiences

Asked for my expected CTC. I answered and they weren't happy with it. Said they could only give at 40% increment of current CTC and then asked for my current CTC. After hearing my current CTC they said I shouldn't be earning this much and that I was obviously making it up. Then asked to send over my salary payslip which I refused. Basically the HR started being extremely rude at this point stating that I was being unprofessional. I asked their salary budget for the role which they refused to answer. Then I asked if they were willing to hire me for a lower CTC which she instantly agreed and said she knew I was reasonable and I shouldn't have lied about my CTC. I then said good luck finding a candidate for that amount and hung up.

Paytm has many openings in product and engineering for at least four to five months. The job posts are even promoted on LinkedIn. However not even a single role is filled and closed.
I gave interview for product manager role, received very good feedback, then suddenly after three weeks got a regret mail. Well that is fine but i see all the positions and there at atleast 50 open are not closed for four months. 
Does any one know what is happening?

Is Paytm planning to layoff?
