In my experience, the Projects department offers good learning opportunities, but the workload is very demanding. Employees in Projects often work more than 12 hours a day, and job security can be uncertain, as even senior positions like VPs and Project Managers may be replaced on short notice.
The company expects a high level of output from its employees. If the company earns ₹100 from an employee, it expects ₹500 worth of work in return. Much of the workload falls on junior and lower-level staff, who work day and night, while senior management often enjoys better work-life balance. During appraisals and increments, lower-level employees do not always receive fair recognition for their contributions.
Another major challenge is the design process. The GPS design team often releases drawings late, and a significant amount of work has to be executed at site without approved drawings. In many cases, nearly 25% of the work is completed at the site before the corresponding drawings are issued, with some drawings being released only after the work has already been completed.
