Cons
  1. One of the things management or HR needs to look into is: too many company-wise groups, like CISCO, PAYPAL, RS Software, CSC, etc.

The common practice I have seen across verticals (especially in Visa Bangalore) is that the director/sr. director will hire immediate subordinates from his own company.

Stop this trend, Visa, serious advice. This demoralizes the hardworking employees with no background of having connections to the boss, buttering, or grouping, and eventually, that makes your stay uncomfortable.

HR, start probing into whether it's a mere coincidence that all nearby teammates are from the same company as the boss and how they got hired even if the interview panel is rejecting them.

  1. Have some standard process while exiting. Start caring for your laterals rather than pampering and sponsoring careers for freshers and interns.

They simply play TT, foosball (not all of them; some have worked with me and are really good, so do not take me otherwise), and Xbox. Management has to see if you are paying 15-25 lacs to freshers, then get the work done by fertile brains.

Remember, laterals are your backbone; do not ignore them.

  1. Do less show-off and concentrate on developing the India center so that it does not get stagnant soon.
Advice to Management

HR and management, start caring for laterals and stop office groupism and politics from same company hiring guys. Won't take it anywhere.
