Employer market me yahi sab hota h pr this is too low

Software Engineer

They would have given them weekly off on weekdays. In India you should max work for 48 hours in a week, beyond which if you are working, you should get overtime. Applies to interns and contract employees also.

I heard that recently a bunch of data analyst interns were hired, with the specific clause that *You gotta work Saturday's and Sunday's too*. And it's a deal breaker

So many interns hired, with this clause, i can clearly see through this; make them work like slaves, and dispose of them after their internship. I don't think they intend to convert any of these guys to FTE

Pata hai recession wicession chalra hai, but aisa advantage loge logon ka?

Work work balance at Zomato

Work work balance at Zomato- Grapevine

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?

Growth Manager

I passed out from a tier 1 college in 2023. I am working in a product based company right now and currently serving notice period. Got offer from Zomato with a good hike. Was very excited. But saw some posts about work culture at zomato and thus a but worried. I left my current company because of mainly bad work culture. My manager here is very toxic and thus I am leaving. I have no problem about occasional long working hours but worried about  toxic work culture. Folks at zomato and others also, please help me out here.

Should I join zomato?

Zomato is coming for my campus placements, and I saw contrasting reviews on Glassdoor, so thought that I might ask here.

How's the work culture in Zomato for SDEs?

Zomato is strongly discouraging WFH. How do you guys see it when it's competitor Swiggy allows remote work?

Zomato discouraging WFH

Product Manager

Analyst

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

hey guys, I'm interviewing at a startup currently and they are asking me if I can work 6 days a week for a couple of months initially till the Product goes live. 
how do I respond to this? I want to take the offer but the 6 day work week is what pulling me back from accepting the offer.

6 day work week normal at Startups?

It’ll never be for a couple of months only :)

Zomato hiring freshers for a totally new position called Algorithms Engineer. Just looking at the CTC breakup will give you a shock. 

Not sure about the authenticity of this pic, but if true, it will set whole new benchmark for other companies!

Entry-Level Data Analyst job

Data Analyst

Ask any tech bro to work on Saturday and they will start crying about work life balance. FYI most professionals in India work on Saturdays. In India more than 90% folks are self employed. 

Lawyers, accountants, doctors, plumbers, carpenters, business owners all of them work on Saturdays. Your work life balance comes because you enjoy their services on Saturday and Sunday going around spending money and having fun. 

So not working on Saturday is a privilege and not a compulsion. 

On one side we are sad that companies lay us off and on the other side we want work life balance even at the cost of the growth. We despise anyone who creates wealth. 

Chal kya raha hai? Sabko startups mein bhi MNREGA scheme chahiye kya? Have some growth mindset folks. 

With so much work life balance you are just stuck in Manali traffic jam and Krishnagiri toll booth. 

Happy Traffic Christmas 🎁

Only tech Bros keep crying about work life balance!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Recently set out to hire interns and had a really strange experience

Went through about 170 CVs. Most were shabbily formatted - which is okay, I understand most people aren’t that serious in college.

But then after shortlisting and setting up interviews:
- Multiple kids just did not show up for the interview. They did not even write a mail excusing themselves. Or reply to any mail from me about them missing the call.

- Some of them literally turned up for the call on their phone. They’re mostly well to do, and definitely have laptops. But just casual. 

- This reduced my selection pool to literally 8-9 interns from 180. Of these too, generally saw most of them had too much overconfidence and arrogance about them. Barely went into the depth of the answers, and would over-portray their contribution in past projects/internships, without being able to explain what they really did

I am genuinely shocked and taken aback. These were all Tier 1 college kids, and I just did not expect it to be so bad. A shock for me, and a future shock for many of these kids when they get into the workforce!

College kids have a reality shock waiting for them

Come to Tier 3 colleges, they are very humble and hardworking 😊

RIP Stoa MBA 😂 founder-cum-content creator strikes back

Freshers impacted in software/product and data science profiles. Day 1 company in all colleges. Placement season is almost over everywhere and now these students are without a job just days before their joining date. No severance too unlike layoffs. 

Used to pay a lot though, 30 lakhs base salary for SDEs and 15 for product analysts after taking gruelling overnight interviews.

Heard internally there struggling a lot which is reflected in their stock price which is halved from 2021 despite a bull run in US tech companies in the same period.

Note to anyone thinking of getting into sprinkr(obviously in future cause they showing middle finger now): join only if you want to work like a donkey in exchange of lots of money.

Sprinklr revoked 150+ offers accross IITs, NITs, BITs and other tier 1 colleges.

Calm down. A person who cracked a 30 lpa offer will do well in life regardless of whether Sprinklr is a heartless corp or not. Fuck them.

Swiggy to cut 8-10% of workforce

Cloud Architect

This is absolutely meme material!! They declared that 75% of employees will work from home by 2025, and before even 2025, they reverted that and now claiming everyone to come to office all 5 days!! I mean not even Hybrid, but all 5 days!! News mentioning recent report of asking employees to come all 5 days-

TCS- From 75% to 0%, that was pretty fast!

Can't fault Milind Lakkad.  He has a new boss. 
  
 New boss, new tune.

Sales Manager

Today’s startups are using the interns/employees to the point of exhaustion(taking work of 12-14 hours) but returning in penny without any job security, you just do a small mistake(actually which may not be called a mistake also) and to fulfil their ego the management will kick you out anytime. It’s we, the employees, who are helping organisations show upper trend so that they can bag Series A, B etc. Whereas the co-founders and higher hierarchy members are enjoying limitless wealth in form of salary and also going every then and now on holiday trips.

Today’s co-founders are not leaving any stone unturned in reaching a new low.
