It’s not a good place to work, a lot of politics managers have babu kind of attitude, hr has no role or authority if you escalate issues to hr they will not take action against Manager rather you will be put on pip and fired later on. I feel sorry for few of my friends who were fired in 1 week.
Poor leadership, and the worst thing that you can’t do anything neither you can take release once you do HR case against the issues. Hikes and pay raises are only for people who can do managers household work. Like get him coffee pickup and drop, getting sweets etc.. talent is never retained and appreciated no matter how good you are for them you are useless so don’t expect hikes. That’s why the attrition rate is as high as 40%...Read More
You are on your managers mercy and you have no other place to go. You may get work from home company has a good policy but don’t expect all the good leaders have resigned and others are treating employees as slaves.

Absolutely nothing Medicle is 80/20 upto 3L , for a certification of even 5k you will not get reimbursement, team outing fund is eaten by managers, transport is pathetic. And paid food has a poor quality. So you get 0/0

Gives importance to up skilling. Work life balance depends on the project.
Current transition in the organization is impacting existing employees (especially those that are in higher bands). It could help if the organization could help the existing resources to transition well into newer roles

Kyndry leadership has destroyed company on all fronts. Through a defined strategy they will throw out the employees.. No projects
No transparency, leadership lies, mis management, polite toxicity, stabbing you from behind is common in kyndryl. No promotion, no job security, instant exit, politics, non sense policies. Please joining, validate what I said and add more dislikes

The people in Kyndryl are very warm and friendly. The company recognizes that it is a people's choice and employee suggestions are consulted. Appreciate the way they're giving importance to us.
I have not got any promotion in the last 7 years. Also there are not many projects. I am struggling to find myself a different project.

Technological advancements, Growth opportunities, Work-life Balance - There is always something new to learn and explore, keeps the work exciting and intellectually stimulating. Overall, it's the blend of innovations, collaboration and opportunities for personal & professional growth that makes working in Kyndryl appealing to me.
Constant change, which is very common issue with all IT companies, the tech world evolves quickly, & it can be challenging to keep up with the new technology.

Great leadership team and Purpose driven. Work-life balance is great. Very supportive manager !
Salary adjustment for long standing employees is average and could be improved, so skilled & experienced resources are retained and do not switch to another company just for better pay !

I like the way its transforming, despite IBM legacy, its working toward creating its Branding, standardizing and reconsolidation systems & processes. The investors report reflects +ve signs too and its strategy to accelerate growth. Keeping the social causes in its radar is a reflection of making a difference to the Human race and the planet. All this while working towards creating in an inclusive workplace and focus on wellness. Happy to be a witness the changes and being a part of this Kyndryl journey...Read More
Being a people manager of Japanese language speaking squad, I think if we can have some revision in banding / appraisal method in ways employee feels recognized for their hard work. Not all resources have technical aptitude (Japanese language experts) yet they are upskilling technically preforming level best too! As a manager other than blue points and dollars, appreciation, publicly awarded they still don't feel motivated enough, as band structure is limited....Read More

Redeployment process is not at all fair with the bench people . I feel know people are getting redeployed . During redeployment interview , recoding should be there and that recording should be audited . In my case .I have give 3 interview and interview was excellent , but I did not get selected, there was no reason .

Work-life balance: The company generally promotes a good work-life balance, allowing employees to maintain a healthy separation between work and personal life. Reimbursement for expenses: They reimburse telephone and internet expenses, which is a nice benefit that helps offset personal costs. Depends from department to department. Unlimited sick leaves: The company offers unlimited sick leave, which is a valuable perk when you need time off for health reasons. Conditions apply*...Read More
Limited client base: One of the major drawbacks is that the company has a small number of clients, which can limit opportunities for growth and stability. Bench period policy: If you're on the bench for 30 days, HR will ask you to resign, and those 30 days will be counted as part of your notice period. This means that out of the typical 90-day notice, you're only required to serve 60 days, which can be inconvenient if you're on the bench for an extended period. Overall, the company is in growth mode, so the experience may vary widely depending on the department and client you're assigned to....Read More

Company encourages taking up certification which are paid.
Promotions are rare and so are hikes. Pathetic part, promotions and hike depends on office visits and rapport rather than work skills and performance. Shift hours are hectic. The company policy states employees should have a rotational shift bit the shift rotation never happens. Employees are entitled to work in the same shift for years. Sick leaves aren’t granted. Sick leaves are swapped with week off. Also it depends on manager. Pro-tip : be a manager’s pet to get minimal hikes. Planning to join Kyndryl. DON’T....Read More

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 pressureto 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. Office Politics & Growth Struggles: Office politics plays a major role in career growth. 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

Good work life balance, no pressure for wfo, and multiple learning growth if you go under a good lead and manager
From 2024 the company is seeing some layoffs, sudden closing of operations in certain countries, very low or no hikes appraisals, very much uncertainty about the job security
