Culture is good. Extra curricular is good.

Dislikes

Variable is a scam in this organization. Never ever consider variable as a part of your pay, because you won't be getting much. Promotion is a joke here, your manager will play with you and will give peanuts in return.

Good health insurance: you’ll definitely need it in this organisation. Constant anxiety, frustration, toxic work culture will definitely make you sick to the core. Migraines will be part of your daily life. Forget mental Health your health will be mental. Free Tea, Coffee and biscuits. You’ll need those to wash down your distractions, and shattered dreams of growing and making a career here, biscuits will occasionally make you realise it’s to wag your talk no matter what. Flexi working (40%WFO): don’t get too comfortable with this especially those in tech, this can change overnight just like the leadership with restructuring....Read More

Job security, Work Life Balance, Food, Work Culture, Leadership. Office space. Etc. Leadership by fear, growth by exploitation. Leadership in freefall : even executives are switched out like changing light bulbs. Yet the office and employees remain in the dark. Micromanagement Hub: this is not a GCC anymore, it’s a GSC or BPO. Everyday is like an opera or puppet show by the onshore using offshore pawns. No robust tech stack, it keeps changing just like the job roles, Now they are behind AI, it just started and they want AI professionals with 20 year experience. Job security is like playing Russian roulette. Even SR and executive management aren’t spared from the sudden redundancies. Bottom feeders thrive through circus shows in the name of fun at office, fun factory, Fun committee, fun league etc. there are people earning quite a sizeable amount for doing this. But then again they are in desperation. Latest buzzwords are Code commit: even SR executives have to commit codes, it’s like asking Literature professors to write A-Z daily for in small letters and caps for 5 times. And another one is work hard party hard, which sounds like work hard, slog harder and we’ll make you role redundancy retention the hardest. The party part is when you’ll be frustrated and wouldn’t mind getting sloshed in even in a local bar.. Mental health sessions gives us some much needed sleep, time off work until some over enthusiastic managers decide to keep meetings even then. Advise to Management: Walk your talk and live your. The 3 C’s culture, care, courage, commitment is now 3B’s Broken promises, broken culture and broken dreams. CBA has now become a revolving door of mental exhaustion. You keep this up, and soon CBA India will only be remembered by such reviews across different boards. New Joiners: think before you join. Don’t go by the positive reviews either they are considerably old or they are made up by a set of PR team under the brand ambassador banner....Read More

Good salary.

Dislikes

CBA India team is treated like a vendor. Toxic work culture. Everything is controlled by Sydney team. All important work is owned by Sydney team. India team is given monotonous, clerical kind of work only to make them feel worthless and unproductive. Anyone who tries to take a stand is humiliated in front of the entire team deliberately. No difference in work of a 5 yeo and 15 yeo. You will forget everything you have learnt all your professional life because someone sitting in Sydney decides not to trust your experience and hand you over a document which was created years ago and asks you to follow it line by line. Please save your life and never join this full of crap company. India management’s thought of taking over Sydney team is a distant dream. They need to grow some spine first....Read More

Work life balance (as most of the work decided in onshore)

Dislikes

Very poor management and leadership. There is no proper roadmap for the program which they are bringing for employees. Its said that BA and testing profile is becoming redundant and people have to either leave or take up development task. So employees in certain times they feel like very much insecured at their job. Management will keep some program for making employee themself to leave the job wherein they ll bring talented candidate to feel not confident . This is very toxic to go through as employee on everyday have to scare what will happen next for their career to get sustained. Higher management is not ready to take stand on this. With this culture how a person will contribute their best for their work. Advise for management is learn to have proper roadmap and implement. Keeping multiple meetings and outcome is nothing. Who can survive in this company is say yes and keep behind higher managers for everything can survive here…....Read More

The pay is good and one of the best in the industry and that is all you can say nothing else in RACO/FCO team

Dislikes

No proper facilities, They neglect basic requirements for the employees If you just want money and want to commit carrier suicide then you can join here. No growth in regards to carrier aspects and their competition doesn't even wanna hire you If you feel something is not right and when you speak up you will be pulled down and will be punished for speaking up. Keep quite and do the work even if it means duplication of efforts or it will be something good for the organisation. Logic doesn't work over here, they say they want curious mindset but they will kill your curiosity the moment you join the company. They throw around things like performance improvement plans like it's nothing. For eg a person got an error for one month the very next month they got put into PIP. They want people to work like robots and they also check your break timings pulling reports how long you are away from the system. One person even got a heart attack with the pressure and they quite the company because of health complications. Trust me it's not worth it. Your carrier, health and the future employability will be at stake. Not a good place to work in...Read More
