Good work culture but less learning & growth opportunity

Manager (Current Employee) - Bangalore, Karnataka - November 22, 2021

Though this company offers a very good standard work culture in general, it all depends on one's boss. Junior and mid-level folks are having great knowledge and experience.There are many people who are working for more than 10 + years in this company, still maintaining the ancient tech stack. Sometimes they create problems. This company strongly believes the red-tape system only. One have to face unnecessary problems with this red-tape if he/she want to use any recent technologies. Not everyone is measured with correct yardstick. Not everyone in same position are getting equal pay.

Pros

excellent peers, work culture is really good

Cons

Old tech stack, monotonous job, No/less opportunity to grow, timely politics

Good management support and respect for employees, extremely slow career progression

Director (Current Employee) - Mumbai - July 25, 2021

The management is very supportive and friendly. However, depending on the team you are in, people can be very political. Also, career progression is extremely slow because of the huge number of people working here and there is constant pressure on making yourself visible :(The salary standards are low compared to other investment banks, even the ones smaller in size.

Pros

Management Support, Open door policy, no. of leaves given

Cons

Salary, progression

Pathetic

Software Associate intern (Former Employee) - Bangalore, Karnataka - March 22, 2020

My Manager and my mentor were just pathetic. They always used to demoralize me and humiliate me when i go to ask doubts. They used to laugh at me when I used to ask doubts. They even didn't let me speak and used to interrupt me and tell me to remain in dicussions.

Pros

Nil

Cons

Everything About it.
