Pros

Free food, Free Cab, Good for non technical people.

Cons

HR people are literally illiterate esp When they Say we are customizing Global Policies to Local Standards. Their main focus is just fill in numbers. No quality people. Leadership team was supportive till it was under Arvind. But once things were handed to local leadership, it literally turned from MNC to Local AZ Chennai. No proper increment nor proper justification in appraisal cycle. Its 2 years and still they are in phase of creating new policies People who resigned are treated badly and no proper documentation is given to them unless you chase HR's and Directors day in and day out. No Proper Full and Final Settlement process.. Still it goes on and on and on...

Pros

I imagine this is very dependent on line management but I find my team and supervisors to be true champions of a high performing and highly compassionate work culture. I find my work challenging and rewarding, and have had opportunities to learn and grow and be rewarded and recognized for my output. No job is perfect but I’m truly happy to work here and at a time when AZ is truly rising like a rocket.

Cons

Like any massive global corporate entity, things can sometimes move slowly and it can be challenging to navigate a high number of constantly evolving priorities and initiatives. That being said, AZ is very clear about its north stars and values which makes it possible to prioritize work that has the most impact and alignment with the company’s ambition and business prerogatives. 60% office attendance policy is also a bit funny when oftentimes I am on Teams calls with colleagues sitting in other areas of the world.
