Air India Associate Reviews

Likes

Okay Salary. Employee Travel policy. Immediate coworkers. Learning opportunities.

Dislikes

5 days in office policy. Poor work culture in many teams. Too much politicking happening between the Gurgaon / Kochi teams. Incompetent upper management when it comes to employee morale. Beyond useless HR. No proper roadmaps for product development, way too many things are driven based on the day to day whim of the CTO.

1. Cutting-edge technology: Air India D&T is well-equipped with the latest technologies. 2. Employee leisure travel: Employees benefit from leisure travel opportunities. 3. Good family insurance: The company offers solid insurance coverage for families.

Dislikes

1. HR issues: Disorganized HR processes. Significant salary discrepancies. Inconsistent role and designation structures. HR is described as unapproachable and rude. 2. Leadership dynamics: Employees are instructed to address the Chief Digital and Technology Officer (Dr. Satya) as "Doctor Satya." Work from home is rarely granted, even for emergencies, requiring employees to "beg." 3. Workplace culture: Many senior members are from TCS, and there is a push to implement TCS's working culture despite being an airline product company. 4. Unstructured product development: Development is often driven by Dr. Satya’s verbal requirements, without clear product roadmaps. No designated product owners for specific departments. Focus on meeting deadlines for Dr. Satya's demos. 5. Team hierarchy issues: Team structure is skewed, with team members sometimes holding a higher grade than team leads. This creates parity issues. 6. Leadership-driven decisions: Suggestions are sometimes disregarded in favor of Dr. Satya's preferred approach. Last-minute changes due to reviews by Dr. Satya increase pressure on the team. 7. Lack of professional IT processes: There is a perceived lack of professionalism and structured IT processes. 8. HR expertise concerns: The Kochi HR manager's background as an ex-cabin crew member is noted, suggesting a lack of HR expertise. 9. Recruitment issues: Recruitment appears to favor connections (e.g., TCS friends) over relevant skill sets....Read More

They are completely digitally focussed, implementing best & world class softwares application across all functions to cater to all queries of stakeholders in real time with latest data.

Dislikes

They have faith on new generation who are highly qualified & tech pro with little experience BUT don't respect senior staff with vast experience who are average qualified. They have got transferred our working knowledge to new staff & showed us exit door in the name of vol. Retirement.

Likes

Travel Perks with free travel subject to seat availability. Work-life balance (but at the cost of poor Career development). Brand Name

Dislikes

HR support and initiative is equivalent to zero. Career de-growth is guaranteed. Company Culture is toxic at best with politics all around. Male dominated teams and derogatory culture for females even at day to day level. Tata Code of Conduct is for namesake. Does not apply to Air India at all. Inexperienced leadership with no background of handling large teams, doing poor job and playing with people’s career....Read More

"I had the opportunity to work on various projects and initiatives, gaining valuable experience and insights that have stayed with me. Working with Air India gave me a sense of pride and prestige, being part of a legacy that connects India to the world.”

Dislikes

Wish more opportunities were offered when Mumbai office was shut down. Wish more empathy was shown.

Likes

1. Salary is paid on time. 2. If you know someone in the top level, then you will be recruited without interview or promoted without much issue. 3. If you are from spicejet or ex-Jet Airways you will get job easily.

Dislikes

1.One of the worst work cultures. 2.Demotivating work environment. 3. Only friends of seniors are recruited or promoted. 4. TATA CODE OF CONDUCT is name sake. Big words to say, doesn't work in the organisation.

Likes

It used to be really nice. It's technologically excellent. Work-life balance is good. training and development is good.

Dislikes

The management is not kind towards the legacy employees with regards to the job security. Infact they want to get rid of the legacy employees as early as possible. They treat the fresh recruits and the legacy employees differently.

The only thing I like about the company is that it is one of the renowned company in india.

Dislikes

I hate the fact they don't treat the employees good, they can make you resign forcefully, they will treat you as if you are only dedicated to them, no work life balance, no sick leaves, no good flight.
