Swiggy Zomato employees, what are some food orderding tips to save money?

Product Manager

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

This is based on an analysis of 24 K reviews on iPhone & Android phones between Jan to Nov 2023 conducted by Clootrack. The results though look a lot skewed as 
Zomato outperforms Swiggy by 3-4X in every parameter, How do you look at these results, Do you agree with this analysis?

Is this an effect of Public Listing?

Feels like bad data analysis by inc 42 team. Or clooktrack. Not all reviews mention each of these parameters and hence how this has been weighted needs to be clarified. Also how the f is food quality on zomato 3x Better than Swiggy?? Both are platforms and should ideally be nearest in this.

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

So zepto has a 'Remove' delivery button inside the bill details. This is a very smart way to make money, since this button is situated inside the details part. But on the other hand it feels a bit weird, if I miss opening the details I might have paid 27 rupees more.

What are your thoughts?

Zepto weird (smart) UX

Zomato : 💩
LinkedIn Gyandus : oo bhai, Maza aa Gaya 
(Their roast was killer though, but you get my point)

Zomato

Also, do yall put in extra hours/work on weekends in office during peak seasons(christmas, new year)?

Hi Guys,

Need your professional advice here

So I had resigned from my company early this month, and kept the last working day on December 5th, which was accepted. A week after my resignation, I faced severe backache and visited the doctor. The doctor suggest a weeks rest and a month of wfh post, I submitted all the required medical certificates to my manager. Post this my manager stated that he will consider an early release option with the last date as next week, he will pay me only till my last date. I wanted to check if this is ethical, considering it will be a loss of pay of almost 2months. What could be my next steps here, as they didn't even ask me for my opinion but went ahead and processed this. I have worked here for almost 2years.

Customer Success

I am planning to take one of the two membership for ordering food and getting discounts. Out of two which one is better to take and is more value for money in terms of ROI and the discounts they provide. Which membership helps save more?

Zomato pro vs Swiggy one membership which one is more value for money and why?

- Flipkart aims to have around 100 dark stores operational by the launch of Flipkart Minutes, currently accessible to select users in certain pincodes.
- The move is part of Flipkart’s strategy to compete with Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart this festive season, focusing on fast delivery for non-grocery segments.
- Dark stores are being tested with employees at Flipkart’s Bengaluru headquarters, with plans to stabilize and scale up the service in specific areas.
- Flipkart’s quick commerce push is driven by revenue potential, with top platforms like Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, and Blinkit expected to surpass $1 Bn in revenue for FY24.
- This development follows Flipkart’s expansion into digital payments and fintech products, highlighting its strategy to adapt to the evolving digital commerce landscape.

Flipkart Plans 100 Dark Stores Ahead of Big Billion Days Sale

What even is going to be the differentiator? 
  
 Zepto kills it at speed. Blinkit kills it at speed and depth of catalogue. 
  
 Hard to imagine where Flipkart can stand. Especially given Q Commerce can work in only Tier 1 and 2 where these brands have a heavy footing.  
  
 Flipkart does not even have a brand presence anymore in top 5 cities!

I opened Zomato after months, they gave me 1 month free Gold. And now this with Amazon pay rewards 🤷🏻‍♂️

Zomato is throwing away Gold memberships

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?

Looks like Zomato did a clickbait placement drive 🥴

So, what really happened here?

Program 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.
