Pros

1. Work Timings (08:00 AM to 04:00PM) for general shift management employee. 2. Food 3. Snacks 4. Tea Coffee 5. If you can say yes to whatever management says, you can be here forever. (Believe me, if you are in management or support services, you can work here even at 75 years of age, so no worries about retirement)

Cons

1. Forget about increments coming in time. Appraisal forms will reach you well in advance, you will be forced to fill it very fast with loadsssss of supporting documents to be attached, but at last you will be made to wait for at least 8 months before you get your ratings finalised and increments given. The best part is, when you get your increments paper, you can see another set of sheets attached. (Yes you are right, next year appraisal paper). 2. Promotion for deserved is a joke. It's all based on number of promotions allotted this year, and it will be based on seniority and not on meritocracy. 3. Bright minds leave the company, and the company will start cribbing on low department performance, will put pressure on them to perform. At no point they will understand the truth. 4. 6 days a week, need to stretch and work for 10 hours a day on an average, will make you forget your family. 5. Zero acceptance towards moving into new technology. Still a paperwork company when all the other companies are moving towards ERP. So if you are from HR department, forget moving to another company which is technologically stronger than this or if they are using any ERP. Here you will be using only paper pencil for everything. 6. Manufacturing plant is sooo old that there are machines that are still running (seriously?) And I don't know why the company is resistant towards moving into new technologies. 7. People at top management keep talking in meetings and mails about the issues happening in other companies or competitors. But they forget about their own company. 8. Your learning curve will exponentially go down if you stay here for more than 3 years and you will start enjoying saying yes to whatever happens. 9. Zero clarity on your roles and responsibilities. You won't know what you are doing, why you are doing, but your department head will want you to do that and get a result because the top management wants that. 10. All the employees here work to satisfy the top management and not the customers. For those with this mentality, this company is a heaven.
