TA roles in short: 
 1. Rangoli participation 
 2. Lowballing candidates  
 3. Over hire when there is no reason and burn investor money  
 4. Layoff people when water is shallow  
 5. Get laid off as you have no more work now

6. Ghost Candidates and have an attitude more than ceo

7. Share memes on linkedin about how hard #recruiter life is

When there is no hiring what is the use of talent acquisition?

Zomato is doing better than most of the startups and laying off more than 90% of the TA team is more than expected

Senior Product Designer

I feel you shouldn’t have a TA team at all. What you really need is, whatever you wanted to spend on TA/HR, spend on your employee payroll.  
  
 Everyone happy. 😂😂😂😂

Inside the chaos at Zomato - The Morning Context

Chaos at Zomato

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

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.

It's a long weekend now and not even sure when people will be informed :/
