5. Axis Bank:

Axis bank was initially set as a joint venture by Unit Trust of India (UTI) and three other public companies and later became a private entity after the split of UTI in 2007. The bank grew exponentially post the split, and since then has been on a recruitment spree. It operates in banking and financial services sector, and has a work force of 21,640 (2010). It has its international branches in major cities such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Colombo.

The company recruits widely and most commonly sought after profile is Personal Banker/Assistant Manager categories, with primarily frontline responsibilities.

The bank offers Relationship Associate profile to Tier 2/Tier 3 institutions. Most reviews about the work culture in this bank state that it is less competitive, and more cultured, while lack of transparent performance appraisal systems and work life balance comes into view as the major deterrent.
