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 .

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.

...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.

It has been more than 1 year and I didn't see any likes working in CBA and if in case you have a good manager you understand and support the employee then you will like the company.But for me the experience is not good

Dislikes

Not proper hiring i.e i have seen the managers who are hired for specific roles ,but they didn't have the skills to handle the team and during the time of joining and offer letter the variable pay amount discussion didn't happen properly So if you are joining CBA make sure you have a proper discussion about variable pay and what role you will be working ,as i have seen the role which they hire and work which we do is opposite Just make sure the you are not compromise with you fixed salary,as th variable pay may look big,but at the time of appraisal the variable pay amt will be in peanuts
