Got reached out by Zupee HR.

 2 conversational rounds took place trying to assess the knowledge level without DSA and then final Managerial round which included a skeleton design of Glide Image Loading library conducted on Google Sheets. 

All interviews took place by a gap of a week.

Got reached out by their HR a couple of weeks ago saying I cleared their rounds and need documents for further processing + time and day slot for Hiring Panel. 

A day before the selected day and time the meeting got canceled due to a BS reason - Hiring Panel is Out of Office and meeting will be scheduled later. 🫤

Naturally it didn't get scheduled and last week I got information from the HR  that hiring is paused due to Government increasing taxes on Online Gaming and that they're "assessing the situation and will need 2-3 weeks of time revert".

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Can anyone help with Zepto's interview process for PMs? What is the main focus of the interview? What are the questions asked? How many rounds are there?

HR wasn't very clear on the process.

Zepto Product Manager Interview Experience

Have an offer from Zepto to join as a senior product manager and need to respond. Have heard bad things about their high workload and bad work-life balance. Is it really true for their product team in Bangalore? After this hiring spree, would there be chances of layoffs?

Product Marketing Manager

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.

Please share expectations and experience of Zepto HLD round given recently.

Hi peeps, 

Given the wonderful places you all work in, wanted to request if people can share good roles available out there at your company/some place you know. 

I’m on the lookout to a switch, but I know many are, might be very helpful to have shares across diff companies and roles. 

Hope this is okay. Thanks good people!

Hi folks, 

I'm Aadit, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. We're one of India's fastest growing consumer internet companies and are today present across 10+ cities in the country. 

I'd love to chat with you folks about my journey in building Zepto, my thoughts on the quick commerce space, organization building, amongst other things.

Ask away!

I'm Aadit Palicha, Co-Founder & CEO at Zepto. Ask me anything!

Hey @Aadit  
I’m @salt  
  
Some questions from my side: 
1. As companies scale there are many diverging opinions on how things should run. How do you ensure that the best ideas drive the company even though they might be in direct conflict with your point of view?  
  
2. What kind of impact have you seen via use of Machine Learning to streamline operational efficiency wrt initial benchmarks? 
  
3. What is the key focus area that you are currently working on? 
  
4. How do you balance creating shareholder value versus customer value?

Layoffs are happening at Sharechat starting today.
Each division is being asked to join a call and they are being announced.
First call with product org - around 50 folks were impacted

Layoffs at Sharechat.

They moved to a new massive swanky Office 3 months ago. Team parities were happening even last week. And they do this in last week of the year spoiling the new year plans of hundreds of folks!

Channel Sales

Next month I will be getting laid off. Our startup is shutting down because of no funding I am a frontend dev there it's almost 5months I have been working there before that I worked for 8 months as a frontend intern in another startup.
My question is what is the main platform I need to focus on or any technique or anything you want to say that might help me to find a new job pls do comment It would be super helpful. If you were in my position what step you would take or any technique you would use that might help you to get a job easily without waiting for months?

Layoff guide

Applied to Paypal through a linkedin job post around mid May. Got reached out by their HR late in May for an Online Assessment round on Hackerrank.

OA was of 1 hour and contained 8 MCQ on Android and 2 DSA easy level leetcode - 2 sum + max profit.

Cleared that and 2 WEEKS later got asked to interview for a subject in depth and DSA round.

This round contained general Android knowledge and in depth language awareness questions(Kotlin based).
Around the end of the interview, the interviewer asked to open any preferrer IDE and share the screen and then to write a solution for eliminating a target value from Integer array(can contain duplicates too) without using extra space.

Cleared that and went on to the 3rd round three days later which was essentially a repeat of the previous round but more conversational. The time ran out before any DSA Question could be asked.

Three days later got asked to interview for the Hiring Manager round which got scheduled and then got cancelled a day before the interview was supposed to take place. 

Tabse leke ye haal hai. HRs are ghosting and seem clueless themselves. Their workday portal also has removed the link for the role I was interviewing for.

Who else has been through this haath ko aaya mooh na laga situation?
