What's up with Amazon and Swiggy?

There are so many Amazon leaders and PMs recently joined swiggy . Wanted to know how are they performing n overall how are they to work with .

I want to switch but want a company which can provide me higher number of income for SDET or similar role, currently I am in 10-15 years of experience bracket so looking out the companies which provide such high package to SDET as well (Why Devs should have all fun?).

Is Swiggy in trouble? Every time I try to order they are either delayed or don't have any delivery partners. There seems to be some ops issue. Doesn't seem to be as reliable as it used to be 2 months back.

I have see many lists of places to work at. Let’s create a list of companies not to work at. Please post the company name and the experience of working their.

Anyone know if others are also facing the same?

- Amazon is negotiating to acquire a strategic stake in Swiggy, a leading food and grocery delivery company in India. - Discussions have been ongoing for weeks, but terms are not finalized and the deal may fall through. - Swiggy has also engaged with Amazon's rival, Flipkart, for a stake sale earlier this year. - Amazon's interest in Swiggy aligns with its strategy to enter the quick commerce and food delivery market in India. - Swiggy's IPO process is ongoing, and Amazon will need to act quickly to finalize the deal.

I work with Swiggy and as many of you already know the culture has become extremely toxic in Swiggy. Expectations of working 12-16 hours per day, be available on weekends, play dirty politics, blame other to save yourself , get really really aggressive, all of this with a constant fear of losing your job. The leaders are saying this culture change is required to achieve high growth targets for IPO. They say a culture like this is required to raise the bar & keep people on their toes. But looking at Byjus it appears that this may help in the short run but eventually things fall apart. Employees are human resources not machines. But these toxic leaders don’t really care, as there is always some people available to replace the previous lot who left due to the toxicity. I really hope the leadership of companies like Swiggy open their eyes & realise this before it’s too late for their business. And people who are considering to join Swiggy. BEWARE. This isn’t the place it used to be. People have left within 1-2 months because of this culture. And nearly EVERYONE is looking out to switch.

Let's examine a snapshot of the Swiggy Engineering VPs' status from three months ago and compare it to their current situation. CTO Dale departed just yesterday. Storefront - Madhu has been promoted to the role of CTO, and we are awaiting the appointment of a new VP. ATS - Ashish is currently serving his notice period. MFP - Piyush has left the company, and Soumya has taken on additional responsibilities. RNG - Nitesh is currently interviewing with other firms. DIP - Soumya is still performing well in their role. DevOps - Anurodh is in charge. Location Intelligence - Pradnya is currently serving her notice period. One potential reason for their departure is the recent devaluation, which has resulted in an unofficial 50% reduction in the value of the ESOPs. Given the minimal salary increases, unless prompt action is taken by the remaining leadership, this ship will inevitably sink! PS The engineers at Swiggy are aware of the alternative interpretation of SOS.
