Pros

Perks are good, including CTC and food only. This is fair as per market standards.

Cons

I would like to take the opportunity to provide an overview of PhonePe.

The business operations at PhonePe appear to prioritize rapid execution over iterative refinement. Despite amassing a substantial user base of over 30 million merchants and customers, there seems to be room for growth in terms of organizational maturity.

At PhonePe, there appears to be a lack of a clear vision, and instances of internal politics are observed. It seems that some individuals may prioritize personal objectives over collective goals, and there may be a discrepancy in treatment between longstanding employees and newer additions to the team.

There is a perception that the organization may be drawing inspiration from the culture at Amazon, but it is encouraged to strive for the same level of longevity and profitability that Amazon has achieved.

PhonePe appears to emphasize business decision-making over engineering, making it a suitable environment for those skilled in people management and adept at effective communication. On the other hand, individuals who are deeply involved in programming may find relatively fewer opportunities, following the principles outlined in Pareto's Principle.

Advice to Management

You guys are sailing the boat. Nothing for you. Just take care of your employees.
