Toxic work culture ft. Zepto

I have been working with Zepto for a year now. It is the most toxic work culture. I want to post this now because A: It is an anonymous platform. B: The firm has lots of publicity but only we know how bad things are: A lot of fake data is given to media and employees are encouraged to keep posting this material on Social Platform. 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.

Guys my brother has been working with Zepto for a year now. It is the most toxic work culture & the info posted here is all true.... Aadit starts to work only at 2 pm because he cannot wake up early and meetings are setup at 2 am in the mornings because of that people start work only at noon and because of this hr is trying to give free breakfast so people start work at 10 and finish work at least 11 pm in the night. All meetings are delayed no meetings happen on time and they keep getting postponed including townhalls.

[persistentcockroach](username) True & DYK 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.

[persistentcockroach](username) Since it's being openly talked of, I think I recently dodged a bullet here. I had interviews scheduled with someone on a very senior position for a pretty senior position in one of the core departments. The person who was supposed to take the interviews didn't show up and not once but thrice in three different time slots🤷. After the third No-show I told the HR to get their business in order first and then think of anything else. I guess I should be thanking him now 😅 Edit: with the post going so viral, I feel like posting all the screenshots that I have. These are the follow up messages I sent, the non -conclusive responses from HR and the non attended calls 😅

[butterymojito](username) Your welcome, at least I saved one person's life. DYK 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 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.

Don't spread such rumors for such big company. Do you have any evidences or you are just trying to tarnish the image ?

[smoothapplepie](username) don't understand why people support this type of company. The majority of Indian startups are like this even some bigger ones. The entrepreneurs only care for profit and nothing more. In the near future all these edtech , Zomato, 10 min delivery companies will have the same fate as byjus especially ola mf

A friend left Zepto a while ago; can vouch for everything above. Additionally, The workplace is a cesspool of politics. Someone in your team will try to take credit for your work. Massive funding is leading to massive hiring; the cultural fit is not present in the teams Because there is massive hiring, there is no room to grow or get promotions to upper roles because people have been already hired for them. Their employee churn ratio is abysmal.
