I have interview scheduled and completed from Commonwealth Bank Bangalore location. All technical rounds cleared.
When I called HR i got a surprise answer..
They mentioned the position which I have intervied is different than the salary rem ranges. And my current salary is higher than position what they have got and asked for approval for rem ranges changes..
Is any one faced this? Ideally HR should know expectation and allocation before scheduling intervjew..
I am bit confused with commonwealt

Product based company , work like startup , manage like service based , layoff like it is going bankrupt
Long duration calls that run upto 2 hrs, killing atleast half of your day. They want to show off that they are flexible but deep down all managers micro manage. You are only valued if you speak up. They barely consider the work you do. Too much politics, favourism.
It’s not a product firm. It’s a captive one. WLB is okay unless some dude asks for a “quick call” and it ends up as a 2 hour deep dive on a certain topic topped with a full blown scrum call. People here need to respect boundaries, seriously.
The entire management is from service based firms so expect a work culture like that.
There is firing going on in CBA. every quarter.
How a Bank can be a service based org?? It's a GCC to be precise. You will see women doing peak politics in higher management. No promotion policy (Literally very very rare promotions). A management with almost no direction so, Please don't consider joining
The mid level management came from the old vendors, they got converted to fulltime from TCS,HCL etc. they are very insecure and hate talented folks. Lots of micromanagement in some teams(I heard they check JIRA ticket comments daily)
