Kontras
If you are reading this review before your joining, you still have time to reconsider but if you are reading post-joining, I empathize with your pain, wish you luck and courage and I'm sure you'll overcome it eventually. There are lot to talk about so please be enduring and read through this entire article. 1. Quality of Work - If you join HBS Salesforce unit, you'll only work on sheets (they name this critical experiences) and presentations (they name this governance). Not any real technical works even in your wildest of imaginations. 2. Team Composition - Your team will be full of leads with no prior technical experience so they only know how to micro-manage and frustrate. Lack of quality is conspicuous. 3. Future Growth - You'll be given bouquet of promises before you join, like variety and challenging work, future growth and many many more. Let me warn you that all these are promises that are meant to be broken so don't fall for it. 4. Discrimination - They are not an equal opportunity employer. You'll be discriminated at almost every step of your work life. 5. Nepotism - Most of the recruitment and promotions are based on nepotism. If you know someone...who knows someone.. you'll do just fine. If not they you'll see the flipside and believe me, it won't be pleasant. 6. HR - Almost non-existent and weak to handle any real people issues. They are there just to host fireside chats or unit events and also non-ethical ways of working. 7. Leadership - Too busy to tackle their own aspirations and doesn't care about employees. Honesty being told, most of them doesn't deserve their role and got through via nepotism, so you guess the rest. 8. Work-life balance - Just forget it..okay.. It's over 12 hours of hard work including graveyard shifts and possible weekends too. 9. Processes & Work culture - Processes are wrapped with the Red-tape of bureaucracy and unnecessarily long and complicated. But if you know someone...who knows someone..you can easily cut corners and get through with ease. 10. Stability - You'll see re-orgs, changes in leadership almost every couple of months which goes to depict the fact of lack of trustworthiness among the HBS leaders. 11. Respect - HBS is just a back office intended to work as a cost efficiency location because of the cheap labor availability. So you'll be never treated like a real PepsiCo employee. 12. Ownership - Even though it's one of the core goal, most of them doesn't even understand the meaning of this. "Pass the ball and safeguard yourself" is the norm here. 13. Attrition - Good resources who end up here unknowingly started to move out and many more to come. So Don't be fooled by the low attrition rate because the avalanche is getting triggered
