Biased Managers - Managers don't have knowledge about the process they just order to employee like a supreme leader and consider employee as a slave. Long working hours/Work-life balance: Some employees might feel the workload or expectations impact their personal time. Management structure: Concerns about communication or support from upper management. Career progression: Limited opportunities for growth or advancement in certain roles. Job security: Concerns during organizational restructuring or changes. Compensation and benefits: If employees feel these don't align with industry standards....Read More

Everything is bad, the work culture, the micromanagement, work pressure, even if you did not have volume , you have to work sit on your system for 8 hours continuously. No cab service shuttle services also are for specific time .

Culture is definitely not good. Management team is still on the belief that they control everything and team members promotion is completely on their hands. Impacts personal life as well, due to this micro and mis management behaviour of “Head of”, Leadership and manager personalities in NAB.

Dislikes

Heavily political setup in NCR office. Mindset of Manager - I manage things, I manage team, Team under me should listen completely, there shouldn’t be any objection to manager’s comments - otherwise performance and appraisal will be targeted, all these doesn’t really help.

The office spaces look fascinating with fancy interiors, Senior management always promises good company culture and growth opportunities. Annual and quarterly parties are well planned, so you always feel like you are working in a grand organisation. Leadership will always motivate you and make you feel like you are working in a safe space, and one day going to achieve very big!

Dislikes

Firstly, the weird WFO propositions - some employees (favourites) can WFH even for months and some will have to report to office more than 4 days a week just for managers gratification. Secondly, The worst employee benefits I have ever seen in a company. No cab service, no pick and drop, a parking that only has space on weekends XD,no proper or stable food vendors and a cramped and mismanaged cafeteria where every thing (even cookies) are paid for by employees. Extremely poor management, leadership and management principles. Working at NAB India feels like nothing but a service based company whose soul client is NAB Australia. Right from hiring, to project alignment, to work-life management and promotion / appraisal of their employees, everything is directed by the foreign stakeholders, and the India based managers ('people leaders' as they refer) are only on paper. Their support, guidance and ability in terms of power is negligible and they work in a puppet fashion. Work allocation is often hefty and tiring, with minimum team spirit /colleague support. They follow a take your work and leave type of approach. The most common and normalised thing here is micromanagement. AU stakeholders are quite selfish and are often on multiple weeks of leave as they have hired YOU to work for 50 hours a week for them and get the work done. They have negligible respect for Indian employees and name-call them in private. Indian leaders and management will forget about the "outstanding culture" that they brag about when it comes to supporting their own fellow teammates. Overall, from what I figured from my 2 year time here is that the entire India unit started off by a group of buddies (all senior leaders and managers have had years of together working experience in the past). It's quite evident when you see them catching up outside office for drinks and parties much more often than you see them in meeting rooms. All leaders, directors and HR's are like a old family who are together on a mission to follow AU orders and set up their self driven kingdom in India because they never got that autonomy in previous work life....Read More

Some of the things such as heart beat survey is a good practice by the organization where you rate your managers and give feedback to organisation on how things are. It does have an impact on the managers and their attitude but is only effective where there is a big team and your manager is unable to identify who gave the negative feedback. For smaller team, they have figured out a way around these feedbacks by harassing their team members till the time they don’t resign or take an IJP. The organization promotes employees to take their leaves...Read More

The culture is bad, situation has gone from bad to worse here. They have hired bad leaders at the top who are impacting the overall employee experience, have zero leadership/people skills. Support functions are one of the worst functions to work with. Zero work life balance, i have been employed with them for 2 years now and while ihave 27 annual leaves i have hardly taken 10 leaves in an year because of the work pressure. Working on weekends is normal. Working a 12-16 hours shift is normal in many functions and you wont even get paid overtime. Bad language is being used on the floor, leaders turn a blind eye towards complaints. Basically you are left on your own to survive, they know you are in need and will not leave so quickly. Australia stakeholders are mad and will escalate on a daily basis for even the smallest of issues. Basically Aussie and not happy business is moving to Vietnam and India, and will do whatever is possible to make your lives tough...Read More

Can do much much much better.

Dislikes

They hire non banking people at Senior VP level to manage hard core corporate banking ops. It is just not the right way to run a new corporate bank offshore unit. They run banking ops like a typical call centre and create useless pressure within 1 month of joining to meet outrageous targets like we are attending calls. They dont have a clear roadmap for their 2-5 year road map and are 100% dependent on onshore bosses. Whatever onshore bosses will say, the Indian leadership tends to agree them blindly without introspection....Read More
