Pros

People, Business Experience and Learning Opportunity. ABI has vast number of amazing people employed within their 170,000+ workforce. Many of them are incredibly passionate, caring and overall understanding. ABI does have large amount of opportunities for experience and learning given the size and nature of the company. All in all, many people chose to stay at ABI because some of the people there are truly amazing and because the company name/reputation and work alone can propel a career in a short period of time.

Cons

The very same pros are also some of the biggest cons: People, Business Experience and Learning Opportunity. Unfortunately, not every person is amazing and like many places, there are few self-centered, inner-focused individuals and some of them happen to be in leadership roles. The result of these leadership choices has led to growth and development being based on personal-bias and not meritocracy. In the last year alone, there have been at least 4 promotions to individuals who lack the experience and/or company time that other more qualified and better suited while leadership refused to address or explain the choices. They also did not hold open interviews for any of those roles nor did they ask any colleagues to gauge interest if others would have interest in those roles. Morale is heavily impacted when growth is not based on meritocracy. Many of previously mentioned amazing people are stuck with no where to grow within the department as leadership has said they will "help them develop" or "help them find learning opportunities," but ultimately leave the employees to find their own way to grow and develop. Lastly, the company does annual engagement surveys and scores for leadership in this department have continually declined. Unfortunately, the decline is ignored and many of the comments made by employees anonymously are ignored. Additionally, the culture in this department favors a high school environment like a continuous popularity contest. If you do not follow the "popular" group's mold or cater to leadership's exact direction, you are immediately label and in turn your career is put on the back burner. This type of culture does not inspire creative or out of the box thinking. There have been several individuals who have left, been forced to leave or have changed departments as a result of this leadership team, mainly due to the two female directors (hoping the people team can use their detective hats to solve this). This review will likely result in an impromptu meeting being called and this same leadership team saying things like "we are here for all of you", "you can always come to us, we have an open-door policy" and "please be honest with us so we can improve" and then be followed by a scolding like previous meetings they have called.

Pros

High attrition rate as people are realising, what this company is....😄

Cons

There are so many 1.No work- life balance 2.They never treat with you respect 3. No career growth. 4.always pushing people into tough situations and have fun. 5.very high attrition rate. 6. Pushing the old people ( i mean the people who were part of pilot batches and who were the pillars for the setup operations in India) and getting B school students, just to create brand. Even they will be pushed out soon. 7,Lot of internal politics and favouritism
