Hola people! Today I am gonna tell what is happening in Swiggy since last couple of months. This is a everyday story in Swiggy’s private feed on this app. So thought to enlighten others as well. Sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy the rant of a frustrated employee.
For everyone’s understanding, work culture in Swiggy has gone for a toss. Employees are working day and night to meet the never ending and unexpected goals set by our leaders. All because of the next year planned IPO. Many talented folks have left the company and many are in the process. New CTO is trash and super aggressive. Empathy died a million times the moment he became the CTO. The only goal which the company has now is to deliver FAST! Nothing else matters. This is for literally every org!
Micromanagement has significantly increased and you are expected to provide update for every damn thing! Employee motivation level is literal 0 and no one gives a f**k about anything. Some people are put in PIP and there is no chance of coming back from there. Cost cutting is being done on whatever means possible to achieve profitability.
Number of outages in the last few months have significantly increased and most of the employees are working in the weekends to complete their assigned tasks. People are just surviving and will leave the moment any opportunity knocks at the door. Its sad to see a company who was once known for its work culture is now struggling on almost every front. 💔
What's bad about this? Why is the glory fading exactly? Why is this unsustainable exactly?
Your description beat around the bush.
If swiggy wants profitability they can simple cut down on coupons. If people are still flocking on your app because of coupons it probably means that the app is trash. Just cut down on the marketing spend and everything will be fine.
Its a time to put head down and ship from what I could understand from few folks I had a chance to interact with. Every org goes through the same shit before an IPO. And the employees are rewarded for the same as well. If you don’t want to be part of it you can always move out.
What exactly are all the devs working on? What new feature are they building?
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.
There was a time swiggy was known for good leadership. Where are all those good people? I see PIP, depression, harassment, layoff posts from Swiggy off late. What’s is going on?
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 re...
