Dislikes

Its quite difficult to put this as I am thinking where to start with. 1. Very poor management. Very big political adda 2. Poor hike in team 3. Not much people are technical 4. Hiring is also very bad. They try to attract people with money than they do not nurture it. 5. They loose good talent year on year 6. No one is from top management school in this company as manager will not hire them. 7. As its a UK Company so you should be good in communication else you will work like donkey and someone else will take the credit 8. They have Hire and fire policy. Major ramp down was in 2015 and 2017. Do not know when they will change policy and remove people. They were at 6k people and now only 3.5k approx on technical side 9. Its work work kind of culture. Not work life balance They have huge list of issue but not good to put all of them. better to chose stable and nice working environment. Please being neutral work environment. Everyone look toward the leadership team for growth. if you can not grow than does not mean you should stop other to grow.

Excellent campus, relaxed work environment, huge scope for development and growth, good salary, bonus fairly paid as per performance and very talented management. International Travels were great and employees were really taken good care. Right from the on-boarding process till the exit, everything is managed so well and with so much respect. Tesco really lives by the Value -"Treat people like you want to be treated"...
