Zeta
How is the learning , wlb and job security at zeta? Is it worth switching to zeta from Walmart?
Zeta is hiring some best in class talent in Engineering. Been a part of the group since years & have never heard about any office closures.
If you haven't heard anything, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Do you hear everything that happens in this world? To enlighten you, there was a office closure 3 years back and even one year after that highly paid people were forced to leave to cut costs. I myself was part of latter one.
NO, I don’t hear everything that happens in the world. But I have been a part of this company since 5 years, hence eligible to share my advice & experiences without answering UNNECESSARY QUESTIONS on my comment.
Definitely, Zeta is better any day. With 250M$ they can easily pay for next 10 years. Enterprise s/w companies don’t burn money in discounts or operations
Spoke with one of their leader about layoff. It happens during demonetisation. At that point of rule zeta was going aggressively in payment space. Paytm and PhonePe were backed by SoftBank and Walmart. After spending couple of miliilons they realised that the business model will require lot of funding and they won’t be able to sustain. So they pivoted and closed down field offices. Remember zeta was self funded by Bhavin at that point of time. That’s the only time they did layofff ever(in their 20+ years in directi)
Did they try to rehire the laid off employees?
No they didn't rehire...and no it was not about demonetisation ...they just didn't want delhi office and closed it down.... Similar stuff with sister company... That leader must be new or lying...they are known to do that
Looks like the Microsoft guy was fired from zeta due to performance and hence the vengeance.
Yes you will call it vengeance unless you face it. Let me tell you it was not because of performance. It was due to cost cutting. I was in middle of so many family things, marriage etc and suddenly this came up and definitely I was not expecting it since I was performing fine as per my manager and peers. But just because they were doing cost cutting, they fired not only me but some more people too in tech. Such a bad time I had. You will not understand this until you go through this.
Let it go man!! hiring and firing are part and parcel of startups. Nobody enjoys doing it. You seem to be at better place now. The grudge will not take you anywhere, trust me. You are talented and any top company will love to hire you.
You are spot on vjGS51. TIWn11 was fired from Microsoft as well!
Lol. Microsoft is not like Amazon. They fire very rarely.
Ignore the comment if you didn’t like the answer. Aws001. People share their journey and it’s on us to believe it or not. And every start up fire and hire. Uber had fired 25% of workforce in 2020. Amazon fires using PIP. So getting fired from zeta should not be a big deal.
Hi, I received very good feedback in the coding and technical round but mixed feedback in LLD round. HR confirmed she will check and update. Any probability that I will get through this?
It should go through, depends on how hm round goes
So how is the WLB in zeta? OP did you join Zeta? Please share your experience.
Yet to be joined, mid feb around. I heard good wlb but also depend on teams, I will join retail banking team.
Can I DM you?
Sure
a clear NO. Zeta’s work is complete chaos. No WLB. at the same time tech stack is old.
Can you please elaborate. What is the tech stack. What are the problems
i totally agree, here it is like, they keep building instead of ensuring the stability of current products that definitely leads to incidents… poor infra it is so hard to reach the infra people. i would definitely not recommend someone to join zeta if you have other good options
Not really worth. Job security is not there. They have history of office closures in the past.
