Was a great organization before; lost it's value now because of incompetent management (C & D bands) at Bangalore

Assistant vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. I would have given 5 star couple of years ago, however now the work culture is very toxic - full of politics, back stabbing etc. 2. Experience completely depends on the team - would be good if there is no middle management from Bangalore 3. Work life balance

Cons

There are many cons - I have listed few of them 1. Incompetent Bangalore Management(C & D bands) which gives higher weightage to the people good in marketing and PPT rather than rewarding those people who really work 2. Promoting incompetent people in the name of diversity etc. 3. No regional diversity - in order words, hindi imposition; experienced escalations just because of usage of regional language
