Offered good salary, various benifits. Flexible working hours. Good employee friendly insurance policy, various tax benifits. Easy to approach HRs. Only 40% in office attendance required. No monitoring of hours spending in office.

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

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.

Compensation and culture is good. As this is a bank things are little slow and Technologies used are sometimes old. If you are lucky then you might not have to work on old stuff.

Dislikes

Old Technologies, restrictions on what you can do.
