Zepto • 1m

Found this rant by another Zepto employee on Reddit and I can confirm it's 100% true. "I have been working with Zepto for a year now. It is the most toxic work culture. I want to post this now because it has lots of publicity but only we know how bad things are. Aadit starts work only at 2pm because he cannot wake up early and meetings are setup at 2am in the mornings because of that people start work only at 12pm and because of this hr is trying to give free breakfast so people start work at 10 and finish work at least 11pm in the night All meetings are delayed no meetings happen on time and keep getting postponed including townhalls A lot of youngsters are hired because senior people do not want to work in such a culture and these people are made to work 14 hours a day at least. there are lot of dark patterns in the app to extract money from customers in multiple ways including charging more for customers with phones more than 30,000 inr customer data is profiled and security is really bad and despite multiple leaks fixing this is not important because of growth and investor pressures the marketing person is also the hr head now and its very clear that culture is not important for the org and cost cutting and layoffs are going to start by march the tech teams work until 1am and many are seen having tablets to stay awake. since there are lot of young people they do not care much about health Junior people are hired so salaries can be cut and in march there will be a massive round of layoffs and already hiring is stopped for most departments the product design tries desperately to copy from blinkit and they keep checking what blinkit does to match it A lot of fake data is given to media and employees are encouraged to keep posting this material on linkedin. even social media copies and images are given to employees to help with pr There are massive cases of fraud that i cant disclose without revealing my position at least 10 people leave the company every week and 20 more young people are hired yearly performance appraisal is going to be cancelled and only some are going to get awarded with minor hikes many that i know are only staying because there can be an ipo in 2 years and we can make money because of that"

Zepto is growing really fast and thats the reason for these types of mismatches But they definitely need to recreate their culture However employees also need to understand that these types of practices are followed by many private companies to gain a competitive position in the market. They are also developing many projects, so in my opinion, this is good for employees. Employees who work until they achieve a sustainable market share will definitely benefit, just like Swiggy employees did. If you don’t like the culture, then either switch or wait until everything becomes easier in the market. This is a critical time for them, as they need to perform in the market in front of giants like Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, Flipkart, BigBasket, and other quick-commerce apps. Their market share is increasing day by day, which is a positive sign for Zepto's future.
