Zomato

• Exposure to various teams & functions.
• Brand name that Zomato has.
• Amazing peers. Many of my close friends are from work itself.

• Very bad work culture.
• The CEO is really the worst part.
• Growth for a developer is absent. You must see yourself growing in the company over the years, not just in terms of salary, but in terms of experience and the kind of responsibilities you take up.
• Drastic and thoughtless decisions by the management.
• Worst ESOP policy compared to other companies.
• Worst development process. Changes are conveyed by Deepi in the morning, the product team wants it by evening, the tech team fights to take it live by night. Everyone is happy, but no one realizes that the guy who developed it will be maintaining it for another month.
• The product team is another worst part of Zomato. They work as slaves for the CEO. Whatever Deepi has in mind is executed by the product team – no data, no logic, no common sense.

You guys seriously need to rethink the culture. There is a reason for such a high churn rate across the tech team. Good people are leaving.

CEO needs to stop interfering in tech. You need to get someone onboard who can say "no" to senior management.

Set up some good development processes. Things cannot be managed without them for the scale Zomato is.

Have some promotion policy. Everyone is promoted at the will of Deepi. A tech guy will be doing the same job he was doing when he joined. Where is the growth in it?
