Pros

Time to explore new tech. Good for designers, marketing guys.

Cons

Not a tech company. Engineers should avoid this company. Designers pretend as if they run the show. Developers have no say in the product. They don't even have a proper appraisal scheme. Hardly know anyone in the office who is satisfied with his pay. Egoistic managers. Poor work life balance. People in the software team are stuck in the office for days even though there is no work sometimes. It's a crime to leave early in the tech team while it's more than okay for the product to do the same.

Pros

- It’s still a pretty large household brand when it comes to movies and outdoor entertainment - It can still be a decent place if you like pushing orders from the top and get it done at any cost!

Cons

- The lockdown has been harsh on BookMyShow and the general empathy and transparency in handling the situation has gone downwards with time. - Any left over camaraderie and hustle that made Engineering a more cohesive unit has absolutely vanished. The new leaders have honestly made the place transactional. - Engineering has lost some good people due to a rather degrading culture and at times even insulting behaviour from the top. - There is litte or no space for a contrarian conversation. You might find yourself shut down hard in public forums as the new folks in charge know it all! - Massive amounts of insecurity from the top has led to micromanaging at the least and sometimes even snooping and back channel politics that’s pretty disturbing. - Optics matter more than performance. There’s little effort made to actually use data to understand what’s going right. - Almost any attempts at creating new products other than the core movies and events business haven’t really been attempted with the fervour they deserve. - Any progress we made on becoming Agile is kinda destroyed given the appalling attitude from top towards the general systems that brought in some sanity.
