If it is same like with Infosys, C - band is given for Programmer Analyst and Technical specialist.

D - Project Manager and above

and so on.

Depends on salary offered. Each band has sub bands like C1, c2, C3....

If you are satisfied with salary then forget about band. Even if you think the band is not matching it will get adjusted automatically once you complete 6 months.

By the way is this a Job band or Personal Band ?

HR told me A1, A2, A3 are for freshers depends upon the exp, B1 (SSE), B2(Technical Lead/or may act as PM), C1 - PM/Architect, C2 - Sr. Architect, D1 - Portfolio Manager, D2 - GM, E - VP executive band.

I think its job band.

bhavan,

looks like it is the Job band and the personal band will also be same unless the pay is extremely less or more for the said category.

Lets suppose the Job band is C and salary given in the range of D1, then after six months they will automatically make the Job band to D. This was some 5 yrs back experience I had, but now the companies seem to be very strict with band changing. I mean unless you do some training and certifications they dont change the band.

Infosys PM/ Arhcitect are in the Job band D. If the Infosys band D = Wipro band C then it is fine I guess. But as I said band is just a code used in different ways by different companies.

The role name and salary is what it matters. If you are OK with role and salary dont think too much about the band. Atleast Infosys has the same bands in US and India.

This is what I found by googling Wipro Career Banding.

“A Band is the entry level band for junior recruits, B is for higher level competencies while D is for all business heads and functional heads and C is the intermediate band,”

Hope it helps.

Wipro has E1, E2 ==> executive
D1, D2 ==> General Manager
C1, C2 ===> Program Managers, Sr PM's, Sr Domain experts and Sr Tech guys.
B series ==> Experienced BA, Developers,

Hope this helps.
