I have cleared the interview for the role of principle engineer at Ola. I am hesitant to move forward because of its culture issues that I read in blind and glass door. Buf the role seems lucrative. Can someone who has worked in Ola or have friends answer these queries

1) How much max base they might give for PE role ?
2) How is the role of PE in Ola ? Currently a lead in another product company with 11yoe and 65lpa TC. About 50 cash and rest stocks.
3) I am looking for good learning and a boost to my career. I don't shy away from good work but hate micromanagement.
4) I am not actively interviewing. Cause need lot of preparation for LC. So interviewing at other companies atleast for next few months is not possible

There was 4 rounds of interviews. 1 hld, 1lld, coding and architect round. The recruiter told I cleared all of them with flying colors .

    Ola is a dying company and not considered top tier and culture and WLB are really bad for what they pay. Try the FAANG+ companies, you can try for staff role in them, even for senior role you can get upto 1.5c+ (maximum), staff are 2c+.
    Aim for the sky and settle for the stars, start with big companies and settle for smaller companies in the worst case

      Yeah. I agree with you. Recently completed the loops with Meta and Google. Bombed them because of lack of LC preparation. Planning on trying them out again in 6 months. But the role principal engineer sounded a step up from where I am right now that's why a small hesitation to reject it outright

      Take some time off from work and prepare for a month or so dedicated, then start with the interviews. If principal engineer name interest you, then go for it 👍, but ensure you tried your best for all other big companies before settling for Ola.
