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.
Salary - Good
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

Good Salary and Perks: If you have the right connections with top management ( family members, relatives, friends etc), you're rewarded with a great salary, impressive designations and hefty hikes even though you lack skills or domain knowledge.
Dislikes
1. HR Issues
- Inexperienced Leadership: The Kochin HR manager, an ex-cabin crew member, underscores the lack of professional HR expertise. Do not expect any meaningful response or solutions to your concerns
- Disorganized Processes: Approaching HR with concerns only results in them echoing "We're facing the same issues". Expect no resolutions
- Gossip & Lack of Confidentiality: 1 to 1 HR meetings soon become the hottest gossip around the office
- Salary Discrepancies & Inconsistences: There are significant disparities in pay and roles, with designations arbitrarily assigned.
- Unapproachable and Rude" The HR team is not only unhelpful but also downright rude
2. Leadership dynamics:
- Mandatory Flattery: Employees are forced to address the Chief Digital and Technology officer as " Doctor Satya", reinforcing a cult-like reverence
- Rigid Work From Home Policy- WFH is a luxury rarely granted even during emergencies, leaving employees to practically "beg" for any flexibility
3. Work Culture:
-TCS Clone Syndrome: The company seems hell-bent to replicating TCS's work culture. Senior management predominantly hails from TCS, fostering an environment steeped in outdated practices and political manoeuvring. You can see this the most in the Kochi office with real backstabbing actions from the head and sides.
4. Unstructured Product Development:
-Ad-Hoc Requirements: Product development is driven by Satya's (I forgot to add Dr) verbal directives with no clear roadmaps or designated product owners.
-Deadline Madness: The focus is solely on meeting last-minute deadlines for high-stakes demos, creating a pressure cooker environment
- Backstabbing Politics: The upper echelons, a close-knit subset of TCS alumini, thrive on internal politics. Criticize anyone or challenge the recruitment process and you'll find yourself on the receiving end of betrayal/
5. Team Hierarchy Issues:
- Skewed grading: It's not uncommon to see team members outranking their leads, sometimes even with 10+ years of experience and skill set being undervalued compared to freshers or favouritism recruits.
- Nepotistic Promotions: Only those with the right connections can secure a position just beneath the head, regardless of merit
6. Recruitment Issues:
- Favouritism over merits: Hiring decisions favour personal connections (notably TCS friends) over actual skill sets. It's common for recruits with minimal experience or competency to be paid more than industrial standards while deserving candidates are left aside...Read More

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.

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.
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.
