Pros

Work life balance and work life balance! (could be just coz of lack of work)

Cons

1. Highly bureaucratic and the Indian management goes to a great extent to make mediocrity thrive. 2. Old processes and not open to take any new suggestions 3. Sexism is not even subtle - it is super explicit 4. Gender equality is a myth 5. Promotions are based on age, how long you are associated with firm rather than performance. 6. The culture is toxic and cannot grow to be a leader unless you keep the Indian management happy 7. The headquarters either has zero visibility or they are happy the way things run in India. 8. No great HR policies, I was asked in exit interview if my reason for leaving is "transactional". If yes, they can address it else they don't have anything to contribute for the betterment of the organisation - Not sure if that's how exit interviews are these days.

Thank you for your feedback. It's always disappointing to see such a negative review, which we feel does not accurately reflect our business. We hope that you shared your feedback to your line manager/HR before leaving Columbus and we wish you every success in your future career. Kind regards Columbus A/S

Pros

Nothing positive to really talk about.

Cons

This company is going to the dogs. Terrible HR and Finance practices. The work culture is stifling. No professionalism. Extreme favoritism. Overall, really bad experience.
