Commonwealth Bank of Australia, India Associate Software Engineer Reviews

Likes

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

Dislikes

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.

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

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

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.
