The Leave policy is the only thing good about this company.

Dislikes

...espite being assured of competitive pay, you will often find yourself underpaid. During appraisal discussions, the management frequently justifies minimal increments by claiming that your salary is already above the industry benchmark—a statement far removed from reality. Over time, this persistent undervaluation can erode your motivation and hinder your professional growth. You may feel trapped by the rigid 90-day notice period policy, which not only limits your mobility but also causes you to lose touch with critical interview skills. The work culture leaves much to be desired. Managers often show little regard for employee well-being, fostering an environment where working excessively long hours is the norm. The lack of genuine recognition or meaningful benefits further exacerbates the dissatisfaction. Overall, this workplace struggles to provide a supportive or rewarding environment, leaving employees feeling unappreciated, demotivated, and stagnant in their careers.

Work life balance was good earlier & most of the teams are not having hectic work load. 30 days annual leave & 12 days sick leaves which can be carry forwarded for 5 years. Working hours are flexible.

Dislikes

...eated negative work environment for permanent employees & heaven for vendors! 3. Salary hikes are very low and overall package is like Indian service companies. 4. No proper transport facility. They operate 1 TT per metro station. 5. Hiring goes unfair & unethical. Vendor resources become perms in back door, without interview! Many managers here are back door hires only. 6. Not great place for technical growth also - as many things are contracted to infy, tcs. Whatever they do is the work ! 7. Each and every process is super slow. 8. Finally, notice period is 3 months - so, difficult when you need to switch over. Overall, it's all vedors dominance due to our weak management layer - this has become service company culture. It was all good till 2018-19.

Work-life balance. Work culture. You can sense that the company is trying to make advancement in technology, although slightly behind for now.

Dislikes

This happens in many companies - Colleagues in company for long-term will have a much lesser salary compared to those being hired externally. Promotions are tough within company but higher roles are easily given to those coming from outside.

...ple work, no higher risks and accountability despite being in Banking Operation. Layers of scrutiny and focus on hugely learning & development of an employee rather than their salary and other payables

Dislikes

...posit any sum deducted during my tenure with RBS at the Employee Provident Fund. The salary rise is very scant. They make you work long hours, no overtime and all. There are many projects happening there, the front level employees have to work but all the credit goes to the Manager or the Team Leader. The working hours are very long, very less breaks. Highly monitored environment. It's like being inside a military dome not in a cubicle. All-in-all, with less pay and less morale, one cannot stand long in this company. This company values perfection, but not employee's life.

Nothing special to highlight, just a normal corporate like others.

Dislikes

Hike and Appraisal is not very attractive. The organization demands you to be more competitive and challanging but salary Or appraisal won't be competitive, it's usual as per market or below market norms.
