Dislikes

CBA India team is treated like a vendor. Toxic work culture. Everything is controlled by Sydney team. All important work is owned by Sydney team. India team is given monotonous, clerical kind of work only to make them feel worthless and unproductive. Anyone who tries to take a stand is humiliated in front of the entire team deliberately. No difference in work of a 5 yeo and 15 yeo. You will forget everything you have learnt all your professional life because someone sitting in Sydney decides not to trust your experience and hand you over a document which was created years ago and asks you to follow it line by line. Please save your life and never join this full of crap company. India management’s thought of taking over Sydney team is a distant dream. They need to grow some spine first.

Good package at the time of joining with 25% of variable pay only... later on nothing...

Dislikes

no work-life balance This product-based company in india has worse culture than service-based company Indian management working in this company prefers only those from their region. Whether they work or not, they give all kinds of ratings or promotions quickly. No matter how hard people from other regions work or how many certifications they have, it doesn't matter; at the end, they give negative feedback only. alwasy demotivativation... many sessions conducted on mental health and well-being, but many in management continue to harass their team members. Suggestions to the Management: Since the chapter leads and line managers are engaging in a lot of political games, introduce them to feedback as well, such as 360-degree feedback.

Salary and benefits are good compared to other companies

Dislikes

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.

Salary only one thing. That too HR reduce your previous organization PF amount and based on that they give 30% hike.

Dislikes

One of the worst organizations. No proper management in Transaction Monitoring. Daily we need to stretch and weekend works. 3+ years project got started but management still say that we are pipeline the project. Think twice before you join to CBA.
