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.

Everything, the leadership is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. Very biased self obsessed and only concerned about their bonuses

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

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

WLB is good because there is very less work because they dont have proper projects. Some projects will start and stop in the middle.

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.

Well, comm bank is newly set up in India. They are still struggling to transition projects from Australia. If things doesn't go with there way, they can release you immediately. I am the prime example of this. Our entire team has been laid off recently. They believe in hire and fire rules. No one can predict the future in comm bank specifically in India.

Dislikes

The environment is very toxic and I am not even kidding. People from ANZ regretting their decision after joining Commonwealth India. They said atleast we had job security in ANZ but here they can fire you anyday so whoever is joining make sure you give 100 percent everyday. Everyday means you have to give everyday.
