Mumbai (India)

Former Employee – worked at Larsen & Toubro full-time for more than a year

Pros1. Great Experienced Peers and obviously the best company in construction industry which uses advanced technology available.
2. Rigorous Training of 11 months which improves your interpersonal and other soft skills
3. Freedom to take decision. risk and responsibility. This is the best thing about L&T you will get huge responsibility which improves your managerial skills drastically.
4. Working in L&T-ECC and gaining experience for 1 year is equal to working in other counterparts for 2year to gain same experience.
5. Grant leave when ever needed.
6. If any one interested in Construction Management, This is the best company to work for. As it takes challenging projects and believes in quality.

Cons1. Hectic working hours
2. Less basic facilities available (during working hours) for engineers working on field
3. Only Sunday is considered as weekend and gives only 7 holidays per year (excluding Sundays)
4. Administrative staffs are not much supportive to the engineers

Advice to Senior Management1. Pls do provide basic facility (place to sit, good water and food) for engineers working on field.
2. No good bonding between top management and local govt body, which many times leads to disruption of work. Pls try to maintain the same

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
