Dislikes

-Incentive structure with too many clauses and old travelling and daily allowance structure (Like they are living in the era of 2013-14).They just follow their lesser ones in the industry instead of being trend setters because Cipla is one of biggest profitable Pharma company. -Biased appraisal system and they don't care whether youhave given an incredible performance that means all horses and donkeys are treated as equal at the time of appraisals.All people get +- 2-3% higher or lesser increments. They consider 90% and 120% performances almost equal.Whether you have given them 150% performance and 60-70% yearly sales growth but highest increment will be only limited to 10-11% that is just 2-3% higher than under performers. Basically their appraisal system is poor as compared to other A class Pharma companies even in super speciality segments despite of good performances and revenues That's one of the big reason of higher attrition in Cipla.They don't value enough their employee's hard work and they don't bother about retention of good performers. --Biased rewards and recognition programs without any transparency which is decided by marketing people for sales people. --Foreign trips as per yearly performance are limited to nearby Asian countries only for 2-3 days only.No spouse and children are allowed like other companies.Very lesser known Pharma companies are doing much better out of country reward and recognition programs for their super achievers for 5-6 days unlike Cipla....Read More

Cipla is a legacy brand and it reflects in it’s culture. However, being giant it comes with n number of cons. You get good company perks which includes travel, job security for lifetime, laid back approach, never ending projects, working with colleagues who don’t fit in their role so that you can shine. This is specifically for the digital team.

Dislikes

No respect for your work. HR is a scam. You get demoted once you join and they don’t correct it until 2 years of tenure. You can grow here if you don’t have the required skillset, you just need to have good political skills to take the credit and get promoted. Politics is a required skill set along with great vocabulary where you can make the leadership team attract you by words and not by delivering the projects. Never join the Digital transformation and the Strategy team if you are a genuine person and want to work with a team. There is no concept of team work here. Hence the projects which they are working are never delivered and stretched because at the end of the month you are getting the salary credited in your account. There is no growth and respect for technical people....Read More
