Pros
- Very deep pocket so you can really get high salary if you know how to negotiate. - They offer ridiculously high referral bonus. - Convenient downtown location. - Some teams have a nice strong bond and are shielded from the overall company madness, so your mileage may vary.
Cons
I will mostly share fact events not personal opinions or interpretations, so if you got an offer from PayTM you can verify these points by yourself: - Turnover is relatively high, but that's not the issue. Many people left in their first few weeks or months, and many more left without even having another job offer! - It happened many times that projects get simply dropped and thrown away after many months of hard work. Change in direction and priorities can be really chaotic and frustrating. - There is a lot happening behind the scene within the so-called "leaders" including office politics, gossip and backstabbing. On many occasions it got very ugly when they decided to get rid of someone (e.g. deny your bonus, give you a fake bad performance review, isolate you). The CEO unfortunately sometimes choose to turns a blind eye. --- I still believe PayTM can be a good choice for many people. For example, those who enjoy collecting a big paycheck and do not mind to sacrifice a bit for that. You can definitely get a good jump in your salary that will help you in your next career move. Also, you could be lucky and get into a team that shield you from the company madness. Ignore the fake reviews, they were mostly within a short period of time and follow a very detectable pattern. If you got an offer, just try to speak with one team member that worked there for more than 2 years and does not have the VP-* title and ask them to give you their honest feedback. There is no one-size fits all, so just make sure that this is the right company culture for you personally based on your own judgement.
