Salary and benefits

Dislikes

time at Meesho was disheartening as the company seemed to be plagued by issue of favouritism and politics, layoff, which heavily influenced performance evolution and stunted carrier growth opportunities. Rather than basing promotions on objective criteria like skill and knowledge, personal relationships were prioritised, leading to demotivation, low morale and high employee turnover. In my experience, layoffs at Meesho are particularly difficult, especially when it seemed like most talented engineers were being let go while those with personal relationship with directors were being retained. It was clear that layoffs were not based of objective criteria such as job performance and business needs. In May 2023, Vidit Aatrey suddenly called 15% layoff resulting in the termination of 251 engineers in one day and with the callous decision to make it their last working days. And other 15% approx. get layoff in yearly appraisal rating and asked to leave. if you value transparency, fairness, professional growth and job security, I suggest explore other opportunities outside of Meesho.

Permanent work from anywhere is the best thing here. Salary is also competitive and the work is also challenging and engaging for the most part.

Dislikes

There is a lot of work to be done and most of the teams are understaffed. Also recognization is practically non existent. Meesho has outgrown the startup stage in rewards so promotions and hikes are a lot less compared to other early stage startups Especially in supply chain roles where visibility to leadership is very low .
