Pros

It was fun. The work is challenging and the hours are multiple. Since you have to toil so hard, you will learn a lot as well.

Cons

It's too much negative, and the pressure is real. Everybody is under pressure/stress. Teams have almost no camaraderie. The culture is worsening, and people, nobody is proud of being at Swiggy anymore, which was the case when I joined. No bonuses.

Advice to Management

Be encouraging rather than punishing. Managers who are encouraging create a positive environment, which has a better work rate than a stressed environment.

Expecting more work with no cumulative increase in salary, along with undue harassment and unreal work expectations, with no allowance for working without stress, and mistakes being exaggerated to create more pressure on the already miserable guilty party, that's not healthy.

All was good, but since the layoffs, things have been increasingly off.
