Airtel Africa Engineering Manager Gurgaon / Gurugram Reviews

Likes

I wish I had something to like about Airtel Africa, it was a mistake joining this organisation even after going through Glassdoor and Ambition box ratings. Platforms like Ambition box and Glassdoor should introduce zero or negative ratings for such companies.

Dislikes

1) Less capable people in higher positions. 2) Complete "Lala" culture, micromanagement at it's peak. 3) Politics and toxicity is at the next level, so if you are not good enough dealing with these two atrocities then don't join, trust me and thank me later. 4) HR doesn't have any say, there's absolutely no attention to employee welfare, they dance on the tunes of management. I remember my exit interview where the HR took pride in providing such trying circumstances to survive, said if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere, I wasn't shocked because I was accustomed to being shocked during my tenure. 5) You have to come to office on 5 days even if someone in your family died, for HR and managers it's an excuse irrespective of whether it is genuine reason. 6) Pay structure is designed such that your variable gets paid out once in a year, if you quit before that time, you don't get anything. 7) Job security is an issue, the sword is always hanging on top of your shoulder. I can go on and on, this place literally played with my psyche and emotional and physical well being, people at the higher positions lack professionalism and will say anything that comes to mouth, so if you're familiar with such culture and comfortable then only consider joining. You have to work with 14 African nations, some of these folks don't even know what it means to have a mature and polite discussion, join at your own peril if you're not comfortable in such an environment....Read More
