phonepe work culture and salary range

got a call from phonepe recruiter for UI (3-5)yrs apparently everyone is Software Engg in PhonePe, which is good.

But they have 5 days WFO and whats the salary range they have for me HR wasn’t even able to promise 25-30 base pay.

But when i check leetcodr base pays are v high, any phone pe employee would like to comment?

Haven't had a good experience working with them tbh. Didn't like their team or approach.

what specifically you didn’t like, work culture, engineering, compensation or office politics, plus if u can give me any base pay range they have for 3-5 yoe ppl

Worked with them externally. Seems like an environment promoting politics and negativity. Their team was difficult to work with, and I hope I won't have to work with them again.

Can't say much about internal info or pay, but pay is probably decent enough. Most companies with bad culture are forced to hike pay to compensate for it.

Phonepe culture is really intense and not in any good way. Would not recommend for sanity. Never been a great pay master either, and that’s only gotten worse in the last couple of years.

Current phonepe culture is not good at all, they have reduced comp plus benefits left and right, in this current scenario opting for PhonePe should be your last resort.

understood, that’s the same issue currently i am at a place w not so great culture, don’t want to repeat the same mistake again. 5days WFO was the red flag that prompted me towards this post, can i DM you @Knight007ts

Unrelated, but Zeta did the same to me. Glassdoor has huge base salaries but they offered me peanuts

Culture has degraded a lot. Only compensation is a good part at phonepe

PhonePe work culture as I have heard is quite intense. But it can be rewarding as well as some teams provide you with the ability to do very important work
