Franklin Templeton Investments Reviews in Hyderabad, India Area

Pros

I work on the business side of the IT department. Overall very good environment, very good facilities, fair opportunities for exposure to different areas of business

Cons

One thing that probably needs improvement is shift timings and alternative work pattern schedules. Even though the management is ok, but because the company is global, makes the alternative work pattern harder

Pros

Top managment in US is very good,Put clients first and employees in last,
Great working culture, should enter as manager or lead roles only, cool work.
Trust worthy Best company for investors.Looks for long term relationship with employee

Huge Politics, Poor salary growth, worthless mid level managers ,Very sensitive to outside markets.Immature Indian management.Most of the managers look for their safe side. Indian management never try for diplomatic solutions to any issues

Advice to Senior Management

Please look into the indian mangement,

Pros

Good opportunities to learn technologies in some areas.

Cons

The management (esp line managers in some technology teams) at India service center, hyderabad is not good. Most of these managers are managers because they are lucky not because they know management. They feel their only responsibility is to appease their managers in US. They just don't care about their direct reports.
