Work life balance and salary hike on joining is much better as per other company standards.

Job security: As such not available, in every town hall meeting, VSS will ensure nothing to be worried orbit just after 2 weeks, silent layoffs would start every year in multiple rounds. First you'll be transferred to other teams, consider yourself as first target in next layoff list. Sustaining 1 year is easy, but from next year onwards, all team members would be worried for the list. Appraisal: Average appraisal would not even beat Indian Govt. inflation %age. If luck would get somewhere around 8-15%. In my team, many received appraisal ranging from 2-5%. Management: If for some reason you're transferred to OCL team for client projects, you'll see nothing available..

Oh, absolutely! At this point, finding an employee at Paytm who would say it's a good company is like finding a unicorn in your backyard. If you still want to join, then congratulations! You've won a free consultation with a top psychiatrist. You’re going to need it.

They should give benefits to their employees and their management should understand that 2-3 people can't run the whole company.

Dislikes

We worked more than 10-15 hours a day but never got any compensation from the company which is not good. If someone is working more than office hours, he should get some food coupons or extra allowance.

There is no growth in Paytm you will do the hard-work but they are not going to pay the same. Low salaries more work due to there internal policies they are not going to survive. They already break RBI rule like three times.
