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.

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.

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.

The Benefits are good and the infrastructure is great. And as Air India is a big name, your relatives are gonna be very happy with you working here. that is the only good part here.
Dislikes
There are many. The leaders here dont know the meaning of work-life balance at all. if you dont work on weekends, they clearly warns you abput your appraisal and many of the times, even your job. the culture is very toxic and you are so sure to get mental agony here.
There is no learning path as such, you do things which are randomly assigned. there is no proper SOP followed. it is also very normal that you are hired for something else, and you are doing totally different thing & thus compromising with your career....Read More

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

Lot of Dirty Odia Politics. From CTO to Trainee all are Odias. Lot of regional politics. Procurement VP is hiring only Odia guys from non aviation background in very high post like chief manager which is very bad. They don't know how to even work in team and how to talk always talking rubbish commenting on family, Procurement VP dont know anything abour Procurement as he is from Powerplant department. he want everyone to report at 8am and leave office at 10 or 11 pm and all 7 days. No leave. Very bad management. No one talks about salary hike work life balance. No growth. Suddenly outsider will come and sit on your head. Everytime giving warning for job termination. Worst company to work for until these Odia and CTO favorite guys leave the company. Which they will never leave. Best advice to Tatat management is to hire Expat leaders and throw all these Odia people then only company will survive....Read More
