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

Work life Balance Company Internal infrastructure because Australian Architect has built it. Leave Policy - You get good amount to leaves in a year, like other Banks.

Dislikes

Poor Leadership with groupism Managers and other colleagues in authority lack empathy and professional mannerism. NAB India leadership harp about NAB's values and principles, but at the same time don't follow them. NAB India leadership is power hungry and money hungry. They have created toxic work environment. Not enough parking area to accommodate even 10% of the strength on the floor. Not enough seating capacity for colleagues in the office. Hostile work environment even worse than a service based company. NAB India is just a vendor for NAB like in any other service based company....Read More

You have to make yourself known here. You have to make connections to get stuff done here so if you are an introvert then its going to be a little challenging.
