Pros

The employee policies are good as the Company is MNC but same are not fully implemented in Schindler India

Cons

All experienced management people are moved from Schindler India or seperated and the Company is driven under the leadership of inexperienced people. Employees close to top leadeship get plum positions and roles. No job security. New joinees were sacked overnight on trivial issues, without following policy. Schindler India is more alike "Lala shop" than MNC. Schindler India asked Managers and Department Heads to prepare list of team memebers who will be sacked due to Covid outbreak and said list was not even reviewed by top leadership of the Company, indeed they stayed away from the issue and often said, the names were provided by your own Managers and Department Heads. Employees closed to earlier Management were targeted and more than 600 employees are sacked, Now within one month, Company is recruiting. Top leadership is focussed on personal branding and encouraging employees too, instead of collective efforts for Company growth. Surprised, how it managed to get certified as Great Place to Work or I doubt the credentials of said Agency.

Pros

120 Hours of PTO per year is nice, *if* you get hired on completely. Working with people of different ethnicity is nice.

Cons

These people LOVE their temp workers and will keep you that way as long as possible. No bonuses, no PTO/Sick time, no benefits. You can be strung along for up up to 3 years before being hired on. Benefits are lackluster at best. Dental especially is a joke. You will NOT get promoted. Lateral movement at best, and if you like stress you can become a team lead/supervisor. Management feels completely disconnected, focused more on their spreadsheets than boots-on-the-ground input from factory workers. Communication between departments and levels of management is almost nonexistent. Yearly bonuses are unfairly weighted to favor upper management with unrealistic expectations for participation. * Overtime/Weekend work not required but an unwritten expectation that WILL negatively impact your reviews and bonus Abysmal raise rates. So many work stoppages due to terrible supplier relationships Major holidays extended, use PTO to fill time or go unpaid. (No help for temps) Things are such a frantic unorganized mess that you can never tell if you are understaffed or overloaded with work volume. Management engagement with employees feels like required lip service more than genuine interest. HR is virtually useless and will defer work back onto the employees Point system for attendance is weighted to pressure employees to be at work even if its dangerous. Staying anonymous because there will be a talking to in the office otherwise. Feeling completely undervalued/replaceable/disrespected.
