I'll be joining Navi next month as a fresher. Just heard about the layoffs. How should I proceed in this startup. Should I start preparing for new opportunities or wait almost a year ( if they don't layoffs) for future opportunities? Company is doing good at financial terms I guess. Confused kindly suggest all opinions are appreciated?
Answering this as an ex navi employee Please don't stay here for long... You'll probably get to learn a few things since it is a really fast paced company but don't get used to it since it's unsustainable in the long run.
Here is my detailed review :
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian.... If you stay here for long you'll not be able to recognise yourself; this company will turn you into someone who has no respect/empathy for their peers. you'll not think twice before calling someone at 11 PM if it means you get to deliver your stupid little feature "on time"
There is an org wide culture of people working day and night; 1 am bug fixes/deployments/redeployment are a norm. You're expected to be available at all hours; anyone can call you anytime in the name of some imaginary urgency.
The person on-call is expected to grow 10 heads and work 18 hours a day and also on the weekends even if there is no prod issue.
Its a blatant normalisation of a toxic workplace. Unrealistic timelines have to be taken religiously otherwise you get to see the dark side of insecure incapable leaders.
There's Noone to look upto in tech as none of the managers/leaders show any skill/trait which is worth learning. Most of them have had over-inflated career graphs who're still stuck here because they lack the skill-set to survive out in the wild
Please die a hero

I was talking to one of the Navi recruiters and she became uninterested once I told her I was recently impacted by the layoff and can join within a few weeks. I mean it's funny how they don't want to interview immediate joiners who are i...
Had a similar experience with udaan in 2022. Later the recruiter itself got laid off 💀
I read the glassdoor reviews and it says a bootlicking, inexperienced management and very bad work life balance. It also says good growth and good pay.
I try to stay optimistic and ask folks at Navi as to what is the ground reality. Can...
