Dislikes

working from office 5 days a week. The policy is inconsistent across the company. It doesn’t seem to solve the purpose as most still continue to work from home despite the policy. Now is the era of more progressive flexibility given to employees and shouldn’t matter where one works from and onus should be on the managers to manage teams and deliver and ask teams to come when needed. There is no clear reasoning to force people to be in office....Read More

Work life balance is there.

Dislikes

There is a payment policy named LTIP. In which, they pay you your variable and stocks one year late. I worked hard this year and for that I'll get payment next year and that too in breaks half in June and other Half in December. Whenever you leave the company you'll loose your variable for at least one year. I have never seen this kind of payment policy in any other company. It's very disgusting how they are looting employees hard earned money by making these kinds of policies....Read More

Everything... It used to be a good place to work with great manager and culture... Few changes has caused everything to crumble.. micromanagement, unfulfilled promises, no promotion to deserving people.. the list goes on.... They dont belive in retaining good employees... But believer in replacements.... They make you work and never recognise your hard work...

Everything. If someone is really looking to mess up their mental, physical and scoial peace, then please feel free to join ACKO. The organization does not believe their employees to be humans. In fact even robos have a better life. You will be humilaited, insulted and looked down upon by people who are self proclaimed God and do nothave any skills. Extremely toxic work environment with HR's being ineffective....Read More

I truly enjoyed working at ACKO, a company that stands out for its incredibly supportive and inclusive work culture. Unlike many traditional insurance firms, ACKO prioritizes flexibility with work hours, dress code, and remote work options, making it an ideal environment for personal balance. The hierarchy is also refreshing senior leaders like Animesh (CEO) & Varun (Chairman) are approachable & actively engage with employees. Unlike other places where top executives are hard to be reached. At ACKO they are available often seen in the canteen or on the floor, interacting with the team. This openness fosters a strong sense of camaraderie & motivate everyone to contribute their best....Read More
