Dislikes

...r thinks they are god here. If they dont like you they will force you to resign. You cant reachout to HR , hr wont help you 3) STVR OR bonus part is a joke. You will get likr 50% of it. 4) you have to wait for 15 months to get hike and bonus 5) They will ask you to change your skills and learn something which is not your skills whether you wanna learn it or not. They will force you 6) no canteen facilities. Food you have to bring from home. 7) discrimination is also there for north people 8) cba india is like a vendor to cba Australia . So you have to be careful. 9) environment is like service based, will notice your working hours in ofc, will micro manage. 10) this company was better until indian people joined as manager’s or upper management. 11) no gifts or outing 12) onshore opportunities iss 0.

This company is very good for the people who are fully settled in Bangalore or the native Bengaluru people, especially for women. Work-life balance is well maintained as most of the time you will not have any work. CBA has recently started its existing system migration to the cloud but the pace of the transition is very slow. So if you can make a good rapport with the top brass then you will get the opportunity to work on those technologies. They have Pick up and drop cab service and also shuttle serive 2 times in a day.

Dislikes

...that time what ever the benefits the hiring HR promised most of them were vague. There is huge amount of your CTC will be part of the veriable pay(which they called STVR), 20% of the fixed amount. It is non-negotiable. Also as per the company policy no one will get 100% percent of the STVR. On an avarage you will get maximum 50% of the STVR. CBA is very much confuse about their choice of technology. They are hiring people with very serious designation but eventually the candidate is end with silly excel report. For an example most of the Data engineers in the organisation are just running jobs and monitor them as pert of their daily work. Quality engineers are running same test cases daliy. Most of the people in this org does not have enough work to keep you busy all day.

Salary, Timings

Dislikes

No job security, they come with some work models and anytime people can be laid off. HR is just dummy to all these. There are many at EM level who doesn't even deserve to be project leads. They are from service company and shows that traits.

Dislikes

I) Mostly Enhancement related works as major development already done by the vendors, so if you are looking for good development work then you will be disappointed. II) Less growth as less number of promotion. III) Managers are not good IV) Almost near to 0 possibility of changing projects V) Too much process involve for following SDLC processes from Code development to successful deployment in Production VI) Dependencies with multiple team with onshore and offshore VII) Lot of favouritism in Managers VIII) Lot of promises in Monthly Townhall discussion however in reality unable to achieve 50% of it. IX) Infrastructure is ok, however canteen food is very expensive X) A very strange process of taking in office attendance through turnstile gate swiping via mobile navigation app

Salary and benefits are good compared to other companies

I work for Bankwest bank which is subsidiary of CBA. The agile methodologies that they follow here are subjective to each team which I feel is kind of micromanaged. Again it depends on who you work under with, I personally felt there is no recognition for work. If you can show off your work, and well spoken you can sustain this kind of micromanagement.
