Kontras
Ab-Inbev GCC (India) provides a unique set-up where a lot of culture values are preached and very little practiced. ABI GCC inducts high-performing talents from industry/premier institutes/b-schools with a promise of front-end business partner roles but provides them a back-end operational job where they are required to do all the heavy-lifting and yet make no decisions. Irrational targets are bestowed upon employees without giving them any authority to drive change and in that process they either get burnt (expect atleast 12-14 hours work every day) or get fired (PIP is very common here). Where in some cases, smart employees are able to evolve a solution, still they have to go thru a lengthy, bureaucratic process to get blessed from far less qualified & incompetent zone/service managers who only look to bottle-neck the process to show management they add value in rubber-stamping proposals. There is No support from GCC Management in addressing the elephant in the room. Everyone is looking to save their own back! To add it there is a lot of nepotism in hiring/giving opportunities. If you voice your opinion different from your manager, you may either get suppressed or fired. Lastly, Don’t consider Variable Pay while negotiating CTC - even though you may achieve all of your yearly objectives - you may still end up foregoing 70-80% of your variable pay owing to rationalising factors. My simple advice: Don’t get lured by CTC. If you want to save your career - Do NOT join the company even if they offer you a very attractive CTC.
