I would specifically highlight Kyndryl India, as we do not get exposure to global accounts. Kyndryl India primarily focuses on building domestic clients. Your experience will largely depend on the client location and your internal management. Pros: 1. Kyndryl offers a competitive salary. 2. There are plenty of learning opportunities. If you are proactive and ambitious, managers may assign you multi-skilled roles. However, this often comes at the cost of work-life balance and lower appraisals, in exchange for gaining diverse experience. This approach is beneficial if you plan to do it for only a year or two. However, in the long run, it can negatively impact your health and overall well-being—regardless of whether you work regular hours or shifts....Read More

Concerns with Kyndryl India: 1. Manager-Driven Culture: Kyndryl India operates as a manager-driven company. While HR policies may look good on paper, they hold little real authority despite the company's size. Approaching HR for issues can sometimes lead to retaliation from managers, such as no promotion, increased workload pressure to push you toward resignation, fabricated low-performance reviews, verbal threats of termination, or even official email warnings. 2. High Availability Expectations: If you're in operations, management may expect you to be available at all times—even outside working hours. This stems from poor resource planning by sales and business teams, who aim to maximize profit margins by deploying minimal resources to projects. 3. Exploitation of Third-Party Vendor Employees: Senior Kyndryl managers often treat third-party vendor employees poorly. Since HR policies don’t apply to them, freshers are frequently exploited and work under extreme fear of being fired for minor mistakes. 4. Unclear Scope of Work & Client Pressure: The scope of work constantly shifts to accommodate client demands, increasing pressure on ground-level employees. Kyndryl India’s management is highly submissive to clients to maintain business and secure more projects. In some cases, managers develop personal relationships with client-side teams, ensuring their job security even if they underperform. This weak stance allows clients to take advantage of the situation. 5<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Office Politics & Growth Struggles: Office politics plays a major role in career growth</mark>. Senior employees with good relationships move up easily, while junior employees struggle for promotions and appraisals. 6. Judgment Based on Availability, Not Quality: Employees are evaluated more on their availability than on the quality of their work. Since operations run with minimal staffing, managers prioritize those who are always accessible. As a result, Kyndryl’s global work-hour policies and leave policies become ineffective in India. 7. Challenges in Taking Leaves: Backup resources are scarce, making it difficult to take leave. Employees often end up working even when on sick leave. Taking planned leave for more than a week is a challenge. 8. Weekend Work & Limited Control Over Comp-Offs: You may be called in to work on your scheduled week off due to emergency activities or resource shortages. While compensatory offs are provided, they are often not on a day of your choice....Read More

Its transparency in employee policies. Its zeal to drive the learning culture and provide the existing employees to upskill and move to their choice of domain is commendable.

Dislikes

Though the internal movement opportunities are present, we find it difficult to get in as they expect experience and with the new upskilling the individual lags in it.

The companies culture is infiltrated with people who were there in the parent organisation for about 25-35 years which has declined the quality of the work. They build things for their growth and are least bothered about the company's progress. These people in the top management and responsible for the lack of growth of other invidid uals....Read More

It is a very nice place to work and give opportunities to grow in the career. I had been in this organisation form from 2012. I got many opportunities and learned many things to grow in the career.

Dislikes

HR and case management team is not at all working properly. They don’t know how to do the case study and just listening one or two people and taking the decision and using the power of spoiling somebody carrier. Many time I had told to do the proper investigation and connect with entire team to do a proper investigation but they did not listen they were just threatening me you will be terminated. I had not given the chance to proof my self. I had provided all the evidence to case management team but I am not sure what they were deciding. Case management or committee should connect with entire team to get the feedback not just listening one or two people and take the decisions. I would request to please initiate the process whom should be recognised because getting recognition it spoiling the career it looks like this in Kyndryl. I would request you to please connect with Padmavathi from case management team who does not do the proper investigation, don’t know who have hired her for HR case management team. She dose not to proper investigation and does not know the process. What happen with me it looks like it was planned properly and there was many other people were involved in this. There is no process defined whom to appreciate or whom not to appreciate, I would request you to please initiate the process. As a manager there are many circumstances we need to take a call to make the business run smoothly at the same time few people don’t understand which is causing issues. I would request you to please call me I would want to provide many other details when connected all the dot which case management team did not do. There will be no change but I don’t want any one else’s to go through in same situation....Read More
