SDE2 PhonePe (Pincode) - How is pincode?
I received a verbal offer from PhonePe pincode. Offered TC: 42L, 4L JB, 32L stocks (4 years vesting)
- How is the Pincode team, specifically interested to know about WLB and work quality?
- I also heard a couple of bad reviews, so wanted to understand anything else which I should be aware of.
- How is the flexibility? WFH etc. Do we have to go to office at set hours?
Is it possible to do team matching while negotiating offer?

Does 42lpa include the 32l stock and joining bonus?, if yes then 6lpa is too low for SDE2.
-WLB is bad due to upcoming IPO, work quality depends on team but is mostly average across
-Flexibility depends entirely in your manager, so hold a talk with manager regarding his opinion on WLB, if he talks about 'going above and beyond, 80+ hours to grow', drop it harder than mouni roy drops her dresses

Irrespective of what's being said, it will die in 2 years. Will hurt our esops, but the business model will never work out into a big opportunity. It will trickle in revenue before the management is forced to eat a humble pie

You won't get WFH there for sure.I'm telling you with my experience. Pincode CTO mailed that for more than two days of work from home we have to get approval from him and less than two days you have to take approval from the manager. I still don't understand why for such small things we need approval from CTO level.
Overall the WLB and work quality I don't like there in the Pincode team.
Pincode as a product also is not successful and hardly anybody uses it in Bangalore in the era of quick commerce like Zepto Blinkit. This is working because of the backing of the phonepe. This year's hikes are in single digits. Only a few people got hiked in a double digit like 11 to 15% max.
If you can change the team you should try for any other team here at Phonepe. Phonepe's reputation as a company is quite good in the market. Try for any other team if no option then join the pincode at last.

which team do you work with? mind if i DM?
- Its alright. Lots of chaos most of the time, however 1-2 sub teams are well structured (wlb and quality is pod dependent)
- Pls dm me for specifics
- Flexibility has dropped quite a bit afaik. While there are no set hours per say, I think you’ll have to be in office from 11-6

How about WFH?

Yoe ?

idk how it helps but 5.

I've heard workload hai kaafi pincode main, and no WFH
But all this from just one person, so not very sure

Is 6L your inhand salary? Why is that very low?

What is your yoe

What's your YOE?

Yoe?

Microsoft hands down. Because you'll have an excellent wlb compared to phonepe in webxt

Both look good. That M$ stock would definitely be better than PhonePe esops.
