Pros

Dynamic Work Culture - you dont know what you might be put into in the second half of the day , infact, next hour - if thats something you enjoy, go for it Freedom to Choose Attire: Zomato is pretty liberal in the way you dress up, as long as you are doing your work, no one is bothered Work directly related to market: For most of the people, their work would start reflecting soon in real life which is good - for others not so much (Backend analytics etc.) Letting Go is a common phenomenon; I am writing this in pros so that people who have been let go don't feel bad since this is a part of "Zomato Culture"

Cons

Claims to be a startup: Zomato is atleast ~2000-2500 employee strong and blaming all the things which are not there to them being a "start up" doesnt either solve the problems or is even a good excuse No Planning: If you enjoy not having to know whats happening next, this might be a "pro" to you else, you will go mad working for one thing which doesnt go through and then running after another Lack of communication to the working level people: Senior management (aka Founder) makes some decisions and communicates after everything is finalized which means you'll come to know either when entire world is spreading rumours or if you are involved in it being busy getting your role changed. No value of employees: Zomato has a "Hire Fast Fire Fast" policy which literally translates to "Hire Fast without putting in any brains - realize that candidate doesn't fit in or we don't have enough work for the candidate - make some lame reason and fire the person" "Zero" Role of HR: HR is there only for processing payrolls, absolutely nothing else. No Culture except Work, Work, Work: Founder does want to inculcate some culture which is given a try in the communications which happen but its more like "work more" or "be prepared to get bad news" Role Change is frequent to meet "Organizational Needs": You can be given ANY role irrespective of your experience/education etc. which can be either very good or can be very very bad and when you want to change it, you'll be responded with a standard answer of "organization needs you so manage"
