Commonwealth Bank of Australia, India Test Analyst Reviews

Likes

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

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

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

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.

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.

Likes

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

Good salary and hike

Your job at risk , higher management is coming up with different modles like devops devsecops if you don't fit in anywhere you are sacked . Right now very scary place to be in

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
