1) 2 days a week in office for my division with no minimum hours criteria 2) For teams with managers outside India, even 1 day in a quarter is fine as long as manager doesn't have any issues 3) Salary is good especially for freshers or 4-5 years experienced 4) Internship programs with good stipend, and interns are considered for hiring whenever freshers are required 5) Job is not stressful. Many employees are satisfied with their salary and work-life balance and plan to retire from this company. 6) Admin and IT team is supportive with quick responses....Read More

Dislikes

Lack of growth and performance is the biggest red-flag. 1) Lack of proper performance evaluation system. Managers rate whatever they feel and have a preoccupied notion of their team members. 2) Promotion depends on your manager rather than skills, tenure, and performance. A 4-yr experienced and a 12-yr experienced employee can be at the same job role. 3) While they boast about good IJP programs, they won't give more than 10% hike in internal job movements whereas will offer 30% or more for external candidates for same roles. 4) Even IJP program is not very good, as teams prefer to hire external candidates even when they have suitable team members in their own teams. Have noticed this as the main criteria of employees leaving due to job dissatisfaction and lack of trust from management. 5) Employees' contributions in additional responsibilities such as sports committees, CSR responsibilities, etc. has zero value as they aren't considered during promotions and appraisals. 6) Few teams have team members following hybrid policy regularly whereas some of their team members are completely working remotely. Even in these scenarios, there are no browny points to employees who visit office and naturally have more collaboration and are given more responsibilities in team activities because they are physically present. There is absolutely no benefit to employees who follow 2-days in office than their teammates who have the privilege of working remotely full-time. 7) Performance bonus percentage is not good since 2022. 8) WFH policy is not same across the company as few teams come to office hardly 2-3 times a month, whereas many teams are adamant about 2-3 days in the office with no exceptions. 9) HR is almost non-existent. There are neither skip-level meetings nor any regular employee engagement sessions (except annual survey forms)....Read More

Dislikes

For any promotions/IJPs tenure matters more than the skills. Very slow internal growth opportunities. Very high focus on years you spend working than skills/subject matter expertise. Policies conveniently keep changing based on who's on the other side. Would not recommend if you are looking for an accelerated career.

Commitment to innovations and continuous improvement. WK fosters an environment where collaboration is encouraged and there is always room to share ideas and solutions. Supportive and inclusive work culture makes it easy to grow professionally.

Dislikes

While I appreciate many aspects of working for WK, one area for improvement could be streamlining some internal process. Occasionally, decision-making or approvals can take longer than expected, which can impact employee productivity. This is often due to the need of review and compliance.

Lack of growth strategy for the organization, which leads to continuous changes in the leadership , vision thereby causing continuous disruption in the system. Office culture is characterized by strong emphasis on hierarchical leadership where each leader operates with a high degree of autonomy.
