Open culture and Pay scale.

Company was good until there was old management. New Management in India has disturbed the atmosphere.
Internal switch of roles is not simple as the company say. Job insecurity.

1.It used to be a nice company with decent work culture and management but now people should avoid joining this company.
Dislikes
1.The new head & Director of IG India is not employee centric. Focuses more on pleasing higher ups seating in London.
2.Old management was good, the new CEO & mgmt has completely change the IG culture & its no longer a decent company like it used to be.
3.Bonus pool has been cut off, no salary increase.
4.Learning platforms like coursera has been shut off & job switch within the organization is a pain now.
5.It was a nice company but I would not recommend any of my friends/family to join it from now....Read More

Used to love this company before the Bangalore leadership change. A few perks like internet and gym reimbursement, WFH set-up reimbursement, free lunch and snacks and a Hybrid work culture.
New management is not at all employee-centric. The new regional head has spoilt the org culture, people no longer feel fulfilled and there is no job security.
Dislikes
First of all, the coffee vending machine here sucks - you need to bring your coffee to work!
I would no longer recommend this company to any of my family/friends or even enemies. The culture has turned very toxic. No promotion happens in this region - all big roles are going to Poland - feel like there is subtle racism creeping in.Employees from the UK and other "Whiter" regions get opportunities to work from global offices - but not Indian employees. The hike % is a joke every year - unlike other organisation, here it is based on regional inflation rate (and not based on individual performance) - not sure which brain thought this is a good idea to keep high performers motivated....Read More

Company had a brilliant product team, and esp. great culture within product. Good support system. Scope for ownership and visibility. Great work life balance.
Dislikes
Since company CEO changed he started firing people left right center. He even had the audacity to share the book which influenced him to take these decisions. Previous CEO is being missed. Product function almost destroyed inside out. 85% of entire product function globally got laid off and the product roles which survived are floundering without much direction as of now. No appraisals, no bonuses. And new India leadership is the cherry on top of this stale cake. It's the worst! Townhalls are a joke, you get zero info. and just hear baseless claims which doesn't mean anything. Once a company to be revered and amazing work at sadly got destroyed in 6 months. Unbelievable. Previous India head was stellar, had insane impact. It's just sad....Read More

Recommend NOT joining the company - Very Bad Politics and Blame Game
company is at its cultural downfall in the bengaluru office, no spirit left , sad to see this happen
unfortunate string of layoffs is shocking, but how the management handled it , especially the middle layer management's casual attitude towards it was just heartbreaking to watch.
when you get affected like how people were in the layoffs, is when you will understand
people looked upto IG at one point, management had other plans
tech wise you will not learn much , as we don't have cutting edge stuff, application layer is pretty legacy, deployment practices will make you laugh if you've seen the indian startup and modern best practices
manager will throw you under the bus to keep his seat if things go wrong there is no concept of blameless culture here , fun fact is on glassdoor , starting from 2015 to 2024 - you will find one review at least that says blame game is evident.
tech debt is huge here, people have continued using it ,no innovative solutions put forth so far. while you cannot remove techdebt from code bases , for any software engineer it is very evident when they find out how the leadership is looking at it
the technical best practices and mindset can date back to stone age. all companies have moved to agile, microservices while here people hesitate as if K8s, Containers released yesterday. this is mostly a managerial mindset problem of "we are an online trading provider first, later we'll see tech" , it's proven very very costly over time
layoffs have begin since October 2023 , still hasn't stopped.
things are very process driven here, don't expect creative liberty in overhauling tech debt. nobody takes that risk as its not worth their job
conclusively over time, IG lost its values that it stood by , and the outcome is
you no longer have confident employees who can think out of what is happening right now in the org and continue delivering value to you as they always think they are next, risk-taking innovation and thought leaders are gone, and finally TRUST - nobody trusts you anymore in the organization when you say something, because you have not been transparent enough...Read More
