Pros

- Opportunity to understand different business and gain domain knowledge - Implementation of new tools and use it - Support from onsite team

Cons

- Training is not adequate in all the teams, they have the information in pieces, I felt there is no direction about the work. Most of the time, it is a self-learning, doing your own research. - My team lead is always busy with meeting, as he is also struggling managing his tasks as well as team's not sure whom to report about the work load. - Too much of training on MBM , talking about the same thing again and again. MBM seems to be good, but there is no plan on the training, contents shared during the MBM meeting are also irrelevant most of the time. - I am already witnessing lot of negative vibes here, being a new set up (3 years) and with around some employees, organization is heading to a different direction due to the senior management politics. - Very worst mechanism of performance review and appraisal. You need to show some marginal contribution apart from roles and responsibilities. However, articulating and differentiating between these two is a big drama here. - Managers are GOD here, they can play with anyone's life.. it is all about how they build that story about you. If your manager is capable of building good story, it is done - No transparency about process. They claim that they do not have a rating system. but there is a rating system which is not transparent to employees and termination of employees happening based on tht.. it is more of a one sided decision, employees side will never been heard. - Be in a mind set and prepared for your last day in Day 1 itself. My humble request, you dont know the truth. Manager and leader are using MBM not in a constructive way.. They use MBM as a tool to THREATEN the employees.. MBM conveys a different message but we are being told different things.. In short, MBM is misused in Bengalure and requires your immediate attention.

Pros

As per the first employee of Koch Technology Center (KTC), Bangalore, I have completed almost 1.5 years of tenure and learnt good lot as per technical expertise and add on values as per MBM guiding principles which is backbone of this organization. Now as per "Pros" I listed below some points for your help: 1. Work Life Balance 2. Salary & Benefits 3. Learning and Self Actualization 4. Respect and Humility 5. Challenge Process and Decision Rights 6. Experience & Skills 7. Client facing and onsite opportunities. 8. Incentives and Compensation as per the values you add to team and Org.

Cons

As per my experience till date, "Cons" are very few and it may be team specific compared to that of Koch as a whole. Its the best place to start working and learn and share new innovative knowledge. Cons: 1. Process need to be little stable/structured and matured, as this is new entity here in India (Started on Apr'18) 2. Hardwork goes un appreciated some times. 3. Sometimes, there is a dull period in terms of learning.

Pros

If u r lucky will get good project. Onshore is collaborative and approachable They want to work with u as partner.. too much work but good to have as you find meaning to it... As long as you are working with Onshore

Cons

Bangalore management is worse. Dont care about employee. Even called office without reason during Pandemic.. my colleague got Covid because of that Even no support during covid period as well They opened a helpdek for name shake, u will actually get no help.. as higher management made no collaboration with any mddical institution Pls refer to corporate like wipro, tcs, infosys, accenture and so many how they stand and supported their employee No salary revisionsl! No appraisal! You just forget about it.. being there 3 years not single penny revised.. and it might be a thought that because of performance.. no not at all.. out of 15 member team nobody got revision.. same dialogue of marginal contribution which the management will never define for you.. U can talk to onshore VPs, SVP s easily.. but here a simple supervisor or manager will behave like anything.. and it applies to all whom been interacted. Even top leadership also not focussed to anything and lacking view as well. Any unfavorable question u ask.. they said will discuss 1o1.. but that will never happen Perks and perquisites are also not good.. Insurance facility is worse.. co-pay for ur direct family.. parents not covered.. no other benifi Even after paying additional premium to cover Corona.. they didn't support with a single penny Even death benifit also 3 times of ur CTC.... simple startup also gives term policy minimum crore.. They dont even bother to pay for internet bill.. which is basic everywhere.. Subsidised food in cafeteria that also in subsidized quantity.. not sure if mgmt noticed No flexibiliy of WFH even if u have some need.. people want to ome office but need agility aswell as u say employee to be agile. It should be from both side, whereas other companies are doing it mandate In summary the bangalore management is not good at all.. The worst experience we have during this pandemic situation.. was expecting more support rather than this we are here to help call which is of no use
