Commonwealth Bank of Australia, India Senior Operations Analyst Reviews

Likes

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.

Good health insurance: you’ll definitely need it in this organisation. Constant anxiety, frustration, toxic work culture will definitely make you sick to the core. Migraines will be part of your daily life. Forget mental Health your health will be mental. Free Tea, Coffee and biscuits. You’ll need those to wash down your distractions, and shattered dreams of growing and making a career here, biscuits will occasionally make you realise it’s to wag your talk no matter what. Flexi working (40%WFO): don’t get too comfortable with this especially those in tech, this can change overnight just like the leadership with restructuring....Read More

Job security, Work Life Balance, Food, Work Culture, Leadership. Office space. Etc. Leadership by fear, growth by exploitation. Leadership in freefall : even executives are switched out like changing light bulbs. Yet the office and employees remain in the dark. Micromanagement Hub: this is not a GCC anymore, it’s a GSC or BPO. Everyday is like an opera or puppet show by the onshore using offshore pawns. No robust tech stack, it keeps changing just like the job roles, Now they are behind AI, it just started and they want AI professionals with 20 year experience. Job security is like playing Russian roulette. Even SR and executive management aren’t spared from the sudden redundancies. Bottom feeders thrive through circus shows in the name of fun at office, fun factory, Fun committee, fun league etc. there are people earning quite a sizeable amount for doing this. But then again they are in desperation. Latest buzzwords are Code commit: even SR executives have to commit codes, it’s like asking Literature professors to write A-Z daily for in small letters and caps for 5 times. And another one is work hard party hard, which sounds like work hard, slog harder and we’ll make you role redundancy retention the hardest. The party part is when you’ll be frustrated and wouldn’t mind getting sloshed in even in a local bar.. Mental health sessions gives us some much needed sleep, time off work until some over enthusiastic managers decide to keep meetings even then. Advise to Management: Walk your talk and live your. The 3 C’s culture, care, courage, commitment is now 3B’s Broken promises, broken culture and broken dreams. CBA has now become a revolving door of mental exhaustion. You keep this up, and soon CBA India will only be remembered by such reviews across different boards. New Joiners: think before you join. Don’t go by the positive reviews either they are considerably old or they are made up by a set of PR team under the brand ambassador banner....Read More

CBA India team is treated like a vendor. Toxic work culture. Everything is controlled by Sydney team. All important work is owned by Sydney team. India team is given monotonous, clerical kind of work only to make them feel worthless and unproductive. Anyone who tries to take a stand is humiliated in front of the entire team deliberately. No difference in work of a 5 yeo and 15 yeo. You will forget everything you have learnt all your professional life because someone sitting in Sydney decides not to trust your experience and hand you over a document which was created years ago and asks you to follow it line by line. Please save your life and never join this full of crap company. India management’s thought of taking over Sydney team is a distant dream. They need to grow some spine first....Read More

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

Good package at the time of joining with 25% of variable pay only... later on nothing...

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
