I've received offers for the PM role from both Swiggy and Headout and am uncertain which one to choose. Although I know the team function and dynamics play a crucial role, my information on that is limited. Here are my priorities for the next stint:
1) Good work culture & WLB - Don't want 12hr+ workdays, and random layoffs affecting my mental peace. From what I've gathered, Headout seems to better in this area. I've heard that Swiggy has a history of silent layoffs and that teams suffer from poor WLB.
2) Good learning curve - I’m looking for a role with less firefighting and more in-depth problem-solving. While this can vary by team, I've heard that Headout places a strong emphasis on professional growth by mentoring and providing quality projects.
3) Future exit opportunities - Swiggy's brand name is a significant factor, potentially offering more and better future opportunities compared to Headout.
Please help me with any reviews/experiences that you have for the product culture at both these orgs so that I'm able to make a more informed decision!
