Advice to Senior Management

Balancing a bot of work load n work life balance of employees, along with increment in employee benefits-monetary as well as non-monetary could help control the attrition rate of the organisation

CRISIL provides Flexibility in terms of the policies its makes for employees. They are employee friendly. It also provides good career options.

Cons

The culture is beauraucratic difficult to handle. The politics get dirty after a point, while management has agenda of its own it tells its empoyess not have. Transparency has taken a beating after some recent events internally. Not a good paymaster.

Advice to Senior Management

Try to Honest if you are not transparent

Pros

The people I work with is young and competent. I have the chance to work side by side with people in the top investment banks globally.

Cons

The work can become really boring. We generally dont get to experience the most gratifying things of working as a research analyst, for example meeting with clients.

Advice to Senior Management

You need to start awarding people appropiately, compensating the brightest and innovative minds in the company. Dont be cheap!

Pros

Good office and seating, Experience, learning and work culture will depend upon unit you join. Some are great units to work. All depends on the Head / Director of your group and also reporting manager. Good experience till you reach a Head level. Look for short stints of 2-3 years in a unit and opt or seek job rotation. Job rotation is good policy & brings in experience.

Cons

If you are looking for a top job, you can as well tie a 8 pound to your neck and jump of the nearest bridge!!! You will be provided with golden handcuffs, asked to chain yourself and throw away the key. Be prepared then to be flogged and conditioned continuously till you are subjugated to absolute obedience. I have heard of a guy breaking down to tears after consistent and unbroken torture of words and shouting.

If you are joining the place then be sure to bid good bye to any personal life and don't dream of any vestige of self-respect. You will be continuosly abused, whether you do a good job or not and also be conditioned to enjoy this torture!!

Many poeple recruited in the past 2-3 years at top jobs and could not last long. One guy who was asked to leave in a short span, went into a long depression and heard he is yet to recover from his depression. Another person was so disgusted that he quit in a year and his exit interview feedback was so hard hitting that HR deemed it fit for the dustbin rather than pass up the honest feedback. A couple of more people are getting used to being target practice. Another is using all his bureaucratic skills to hang on.

Most guys undergo this torture silently, while some have a constant crib life in the company but do nothing about it.

Ask around, do your probing, try and get feedbacks from those who left rather than those inside. Look at the track record of people who have left the company in the last 2-3 years. Ask yourself why so many people at the top have left? If you still feel upto it and you are made of sterner stuff or there is equal torture in your current work place, then do take the plunge.

Advice to Senior Management

There is too much focus on Earnings growth and too little on human aspects. In a service industry, your assets are human beings. Whipping helps in the short term. In the medium term, it only makes zombies & no company can last long if run by zombies. Most guys at the top seem very good and can make this into a huge success if handled with more understanding and given more empowerment. Wisdom quotient is not as per hierarchy, experience or age. If so, you would not have so many Googles, Facebooks and successful start-ups. Improve the spirit of your workforce and you will see miracles happening!!

Increase the compensation!
Don't discriminate between lower rung of management and the middle level

Good learning on the basics, flexible work timings, knowledge sharing amongst departments and the amenties provided to employees are good.

Advice to Senior Management

Enforce better policies for employee complaints redressal by the HR, work life balance is missing, the management should not set up unachievable targets and overworking employees....
