Honestly, nothing stands out. Everything seems to have its flaws.

Dislikes

1. Poor Leadership at the Associate Director Level: The Associate Directors, especially in the IT department, are among the most difficult to work with. They often behave arrogantly, as if they own the company, and speak to employees in a disrespectful manner. They take frequent leaves themselves but hesitate to approve even our entitled paid leaves, giving random excuses. Employee well-being is not a priority for them—they only focus on results, often achieved by mistreating staff. If you raise genuine concerns, they take it personally and may terminate you by fabricating issues to HR. While some Directors and Senior Directors are calm and professional, the Associate Directors lack basic courtesy and professional behavior. Many of them act in an unrefined manner and fail to appreciate talent—they treat people disrespectfully. 2. Lack of Meritocracy & Biased Appraisals: The company is currently facing losses and layoffs, which was expected because they majorly have reference people without talent. hardworking and skilled employees don’t receive fair recognition or salary hikes. A large percentage of the workforce is made up of internal referrals and relatives of senior leaders, especially Associate Directors in IT depart. These persons often receive undeserved promotions and generous appraisals, while the genuinely talented employees are either sidelined or laid off. It’s frustrating to see that those who barely contribute continue to enjoy benefits simply because of internal references. 3. Toxic Work Culture & Politics: Office politics is at its peak, primarily driven by Associate Directors and some Managers. They often take credit for others’ work and hide the contributions of hardworking employees from senior leadership. The work environment feels oppressive, with unrealistic pressure, including on weekends. Unless you are in the good books of these leaders or have strong internal references, your growth is limited. There is very little appreciation or reward for genuine effort. Other Concerns: Despite branding itself as a “Great Place to Work” and being a rating agency, CRISIL has failed to introspect and improve its internal management practices. There have been salary delays, and HR is practically non-functional when it comes to supporting employees. If you approach HR with a concern, it often gets reported to your manager, which may result in your termination. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality...Read More

Biasness in everything whether its pay, promotions, or rewards. I joined Crisil in 2021 and even after having an MBA I joined here, and they provided me with lowest designation (JRA) ~ THE HR took the advantage of covid. Even though the people who graduated with me had RA/MT designation (9-10A). Now, three years after that they still paying me less than what a fresher earns. I was still at 9A level, and the pay was much less around. Plus, if there is any opening in the team where you think to move, they will offer that role to their favorite colleagues. Some people here who are sitting here in CRISIL think they have a Sarkari Naukri. The so-called great place to work is just very depressing. No at all worth it. What are they offering 3.5 LPA to freshers are you seriously in 2024? and then you say we also started with the same pay? You started in 2012 that was a freaking 12 years ago now its 2024. Its so bad that a company publishing all financial data is itself not paying its employees as per market standards....Read More

You get some protection from vild atmosphere if you are working for a foreign client. Clients encourage you unlike backbiting and racism you face for being a non tamilian.

Dislikes

Huge discrimination, even in pay. Didn't pay overtime for years while tamilian colleagues got it. Constant abuse and isolation. No action by compliance etc even after labour court case. Good HRs sacked.

1. Good and advanced tech stack with some amazing projects. 2. Great colleagues. 3. Bus pick up and drop service for Mumbai location. 4. Good employee well being policies like 5 day work week, occasional wellness day off, etc.

Dislikes

1. Every task is on priority and unrealistic deadlines are set hence work life balance goes for a toss all the time. 2. Pulling resources from one project and assigning into another can be managed better, as there is no proper KT given to new people in team. 3. Low increment will be given despite you working well. 4. Average base compensation to freshers.

Overall, my experience at CRISIL Foundation was enriching, and I appreciate the skills, knowledge, and values I gained during my tenure.

Dislikes

During my three-year tenure at CRISIL Foundation, I unfortunately faced a significant challenge: I did not receive a single salary payment on time. Despite my dedication, hard work, and commitment to the organization's mission, the lack of compensation was a substantial hardship.

I like their professionalism and adherence to all the corporate standards and policies. There was lot of learning.

Dislikes

The managerial part, as they rightly say, if you get a good manager you’ll look great but apparently people are so busy boasting themselves that they are not so welcoming to newbies. Bengaluru office looks like one small chamber. Upper management was quiet dominating then being helpful, lack of mentorship in them. My health went down and I had to leave.

Just that it was brand but honestly clients are now mostly going with its competitors.

Dislikes

My time with CRISIL sales team was a disheartening experience. The company was a rife with internal politics leaving little room for genuine work. The emphasis on maintaining appearances and navigating bureaucratic hurdles far outweighed the actual execution of tasks. Work life balance is a mere illusion as demanding deadlines and constant pressure often bled into personal time. Unfortunately this toxic environment extended beyond the employees with Clients also expressing dissatisfaction with CRISIL’s services. The upper management’s lack of ineffective leadership further exacerbated the situation. Ultimately I found it more productive to step away from this environment and seek out opportunities that prioritise professional growth and work life balance....Read More
