Vantaggi
When I joined Meesho, I was quite nervous on my first day. However, after the onboarding and induction sessions, the team organized interactive games and activities that helped everyone relax, connect, and feel comfortable. It made settling into a new environment much easier. I was then assigned to a team that was incredibly welcoming and supportive. Beyond work, we regularly play foosball and table tennis, go on tea breaks together, and enjoy occasional team outings and celebrations. These moments have helped build strong friendships and made work more enjoyable. At the same time, the technical environment at Meesho is highly advanced and fast-paced. As someone early in my career, I found it to be an excellent place to learn modern engineering practices, work on large-scale systems, and gain exposure to challenging real-world problems. The culture encourages ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning, which creates tremendous opportunities for both personal and professional growth. Overall, Meesho has been a place where I've found a great balance of learning, innovation, and a supportive work culture, making it a rewarding experience from day one.
Svantaggi
One aspect that I feel could be improved is the difference in compensation and benefits offered to employees based on their hiring channel. Employees hired through campus programs at IITs/NITs and those hired through the All India Hiring process often work on similar projects, take on comparable responsibilities, and contribute equally to the organization's success. However, there can be noticeable differences in compensation and certain benefits. While I understand that hiring strategies may vary, a more uniform approach that recognizes performance, impact, and contributions over the long term would help foster a stronger sense of fairness and inclusivity. Ensuring that employees with similar roles and responsibilities are rewarded equitably can further strengthen morale, motivation, and collaboration across teams. Apart from this concern, my overall experience at Meesho has been highly positive, with great learning opportunities, supportive colleagues, and exposure to cutting-edge technology.
