Cons

I have worked in Zomato for a year. The whole year, each day was a deadline. On average, you will be working for 10 hours each day. Sat/Sun are off officially, but you might be working on weekends too. It affected my health badly. Sometimes you will get a new task out of the blue, and the same week will be the shipping date. We had late-night meetings (2 am too).

There is no organized work. Once you are given a task, you will own it fully. You will be scheduling all the meetings (with BE/FE/UI/PM) and making sure other teams complete their side of work on time so that you are unblocked for shipping on time. Also, you cannot delay the shipping date, even if you have to work 24 hours.

All the teams suffer from a hectic work culture.

Not many perks besides salary, no Zomato app benefits, no free food, no gifts.

Advice to Management

Please, please work on work-life balance. It's my humble request. Otherwise, everything is good about the company. Only the work-life balance is a concern, in my opinion.
