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

Well the culture is pathetic not fit to work, there is no transperancy, and senior leadership take decisions based on their ego and bias. A total hierarchical environment not good for anyone to work on this chronic toxic environment please avoid.

Dislikes

no work-life balance This product-based company in india has worse culture than service-based company Indian management working in this company prefers only those from their region. Whether they work or not, they give all kinds of ratings or promotions quickly. No matter how hard people from other regions work or how many certifications they have, it doesn't matter; at the end, they give negative feedback only. alwasy demotivativation... many sessions conducted on mental health and well-being, but many in management continue to harass their team members. Suggestions to the Management: Since the chapter leads and line managers are engaging in a lot of political games, introduce them to feedback as well, such as 360-degree feedback....Read More

There is nothing great about this company

Dislikes

Work-life balance is worst and product release plan are done in Australia without considering available resource and time which leads to overtime working even though company policy prohibiting overtime. Root cause of this culture: 1.Local management takes no ownership of resources. 2.Employees fear retaliation to say no to unrealistic timeline set by Australia counter part. 3.There is unofficial competition between teams( product owner) in Australia to deliver more for their growth. Please note that their is no external customer for these product and no demand to deliver on any specified time, few exception may be there due to regulator requirement. 4.The Product owners in Australia are Indians who are from service based companies like HCL, TCS. They have taken the work culture with them. 5. Top management overlooks this nonsense...Read More

Good pay, which comes with own risk.

Dislikes

Dangerous workplace which is driven by EM and GM, job safety is not there at all. Great Innovation and change management, however, the pace also creates havoc in work workplace where the job they recruited 6 months ago becomes irrelevant and redundant. For Indian sentiment, this company is too low in rank compared to many American and European companies.

Company policy ( Which is not good in India )

Dislikes

Poor leadership, favoritism, and mismanagement fuel inefficiency. Senior managers waste time, hire based on bias, and assign irrelevant tasks. Hard work goes unrewarded—no hikes, no promotions. Desk IT support team are mostly absent from front desk and they pass issue from one to another one, leaving critical issues unresolved. Surveys are pointless as no action is taken. A culture of complacency is killing productivity and morale."...Read More

Dislikes

There is no work life balance. Silent hiring is happening especially for testers. They are saying that all the testers needs to learn development. They are not ready to ask opinion from anyone. If they told, we supposed to do. Having so much frustration in work. They introduced devsecops model and started to fire people. Last November they fired many people. On the month of February, they planned to fire many people. Worst company in my career...Read More

Very poor management, hire and fire policy once they decide to stop certain projects they will fire people in group. Bad upper management, no professionalism in corporate.
