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

Dislikes

1. Management is changed and everything has become horrible. 2. Alot of micro management with work which is not healthy. 3. Manager has issue if we take leaves. (Rule for taking leaves - No matter how many leaves you take, Need to complete the target by end of the month) I dont understand what is the point of taking leaves if we have the complete the work by the end of the month. To complete the target we need to sit and work on weedends. 4. Office location is not good. (Silkboard) 5. Manager is not at all approachable....Read More

Working hour Flexibility.

Dislikes

I am experiencing frustration regarding my workplace's reluctance to adopt the hybrid work model that many companies are currently embracing. Despite the fact that my responsibilities can be accomplished remotely, my manager insists that I attend the office. The management techniques employed feel dated, with micromanagement being the norm. The atmosphere is more akin to that of a call center than a professional environment. Furthermore, I have limited opportunities to express my opinions, and when I do, they are frequently disregarded. I am hopeful that my workplace can embrace more modern practices and begin to listen to its staff....Read More

Flexibility is the best thing I liked about Acko and the opportunities I've got within a short span of time has been nothing short of splendid. My work is recognized very well and there is no better happiness than this.

Dislikes

Its too early to have a dislike about working in Acko as I am just into baby steps.

Just the 2 days week off... But then again.... It's just for name sake for people on team lead or manager role or higher...

Dislikes

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...

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
