only work life balance

Dislikes

Toxic work culture. No scope of learning. A lot of favouritism. no matter how well you are performing. you will get good rating or promotion only if you are manager’s favourite. Most of management/managers belongs to old dated service based culture and hence company turned into typical service based organisation or somewhere worst than that

Dislikes

1)No promotion scope even if you are working hard in a project for long time, you have to apply for senior position and give interview. And if they like you or you are favourite then you will get promotion 2) manager thinks they are god here. If they dont like you they will force you to resign. You cant reachout to HR , hr wont help you 3) STVR OR bonus part is a joke. You will get likr 50% of it. 4) you have to wait for 15 months to get hike and bonus 5) They will ask you to change your skills and learn something which is not your skills whether you wanna learn it or not. They will force you 6) no canteen facilities. Food you have to bring from home. 7) discrimination is also there for north people 8) cba india is like a vendor to cba Australia . So you have to be careful. 9) environment is like service based, will notice your working hours in ofc, will micro manage. 10) this company was better until indian people joined as manager’s or upper management. 11) no gifts or outing 12) onshore opportunities iss 0....Read More

This company is very good for the people who are fully settled in Bangalore or the native Bengaluru people, especially for women. Work-life balance is well maintained as most of the time you will not have any work. CBA has recently started its existing system migration to the cloud but the pace of the transition is very slow. So if you can make a good rapport with the top brass then you will get the opportunity to work on those technologies. They have Pick up and drop cab service and also shuttle serive 2 times in a day....Read More

Dislikes

When I got hired in CBA back in 2022 that time what ever the benefits the hiring HR promised most of them were vague. There is huge amount of your CTC will be part of the veriable pay(which they called STVR), 20% of the fixed amount. It is non-negotiable. Also as per the company policy no one will get 100% percent of the STVR. On an avarage you will get maximum 50% of the STVR. CBA is very much confuse about their choice of technology. They are hiring people with very serious designation but eventually the candidate is end with silly excel report. For an example most of the Data engineers in the organisation are just running jobs and monitor them as pert of their daily work. Quality engineers are running same test cases daliy. Most of the people in this org does not have enough work to keep you busy all day....Read More

The work life balance is decent. Middle management is good and supportive.

Dislikes

The culture in operations is borderline toxic. They'll give you a bunch of additional work which will impact your core KPI and won't even give you diverts for it. Some people in senior management (Indian) seem to favor people from one religious group in particular

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

It's has an edge work life balance and transport facility.

Dislikes

Too much of favourism and unethical behaviour of senior managers. Your work will not be given the credit unless you are very good at buttering. So do with your ratings. Internal politics are so high so that people are grouped together to corner the other side at mid management level then they will target the one that work for the project. It's a shame. My advice, if you are looking for peaceful brain, then please don't join....Read More

Good Work life balance. Salary is competitive and 30% annual bonus on CTC which is usually 55-60% of 30%. 21 yearly annual leaves.

Dislikes

“No job security” i will be straight honest with you. 1) Every Post appraisal cycle (which usually July-June)CBA goes through yearly restructuring. And be ready to to get laid off if your dotted reporting line is in Australia. 2) difficult to get promoted even if you have exceeded expectation rating in you PMP. 3)Data maturity is nowhere in the DNA of CBA. 4)CBA india works like a vendor of CBA Australia which is quite evident....Read More

This organisation is not gor ambitious folks. The job is comfortable, hike is also good with an average hike of 10% year on year. But, but and but STVR(Variable) is a scam in this company. Dont expect more than 50% variable payout.
