Urban Company Senior Category Manager salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Some categories have good work culture, work life balance, whereas high-growth categories and cities like Cleaning, Tier-1 Cities are always drowned in overwork pressure. Good part about working in these categories is that there is a lot of learning to do, you might be given a number of different projects if you are up for it and you are part of a very large problem solving group. This makes you a really good problem solver working here.

Dislikes

...s to preach it, even the CXOs agree that working in UC is very hard and painful. While you have exciting projects and all, the compensation and career growth is not related to that, it majorly depends on how well you gel up with the team, who all you know because everybody is working hard and no one has the time to specifically look at how hard you are working. The offices (specially for Business teams) are very small and congested with no proper facilities. There is only one HQ which is located in Gurgaon, apart from all the other offices are basically category specific and city specific offices wherein partners are usually coming for training, etc. So, do check your office location and all before joining.

Great learning at the initial stages, especially when you join at a junior level.

Dislikes

...y office is coffee machine and sometimes that is not working too for few months. The pay for junior employees is much lesser as compared to other companies like Zomato, Swiggy, Pharmeasy etc You might just feel numb sometimes, as there won't be any support from the senior management and you might just get stuck as a junior employee. Also, it's very category specific. If you're in the Homes category, politics would be lesser and growth will be better. If you're in beauty, expect the exact opposite.
