Pros
Too much of ample time to be free. The office looks good. Food is good.
Cons
Was in core RnD team..and worked with inexperienced seniors who has 35 years. Completely illogical core team. These seniors will ruin your life, career and ofcourse confidence to speak up. Because since they are incapable of going to any other company, they think if they let these bright kids grow they will lose their credibility. You will not feel great working with them because they keep harassing everyone publicly in their local language. And will pull your confidence down. They will make you are worth nothing. If you there to ask logical technical questions they will never give you an answer because they themselves don't know the answer. Mind it if you go ahead an complaints you will be supported infact you will be asked to leave . Just by the fact, they recruited good colleges student from IIT, NIT DCE nobody stayed for more than am year. Those who stayed got some majburi. Sympathies to them.For havells paying 4lpa is a big thing, Director level also keeps reminding you about the big amount of money company is spending on you. Because for them its a huge money and you good give it back. They have hired students from local college with 1 lpa just the work going and can give whatever clerk work to them.These seniors just sit and order around. For them becoming a manager is avbig thing. So they indulge in politics. Taking holidays is big question there considering they give such less holidays. When you come out of this company you will realise life is so much better.. People are some much better and professional. Don't spoil your career life by joining into this company.

Pros
1. Flat Organizational structure - so workwise, there isn't much difference between a manager and a sales executive. The only boss in the branch is the branch head. 2. A good company to start your sales career with. You will understand how money moves in the FMEG sector. Havells is the only electrical company to work in such a way. Others have followed route only post 2013. 3. Every year your salary grows between 15 ~ 30 %, depending on your performance. But 20% is average y-o-y growth for many. 4. Once you have set your channel / market, 7 to 10 days is all you require to work essentially in a month. 5. Stay with the firm between 2 ~ 5 years (max.) to boost up your commercial / sales skills. Then move to the next better bargain.
Cons
1. Travelling and out-station expenses awarded by the company are bad. Despite having become an MNC, the miser baniya culture still exists in certain sections. 2. Starting salaries are still below average. 2 ~ 4 lacs essentially for various colleges and 6 ~ 8 lacs for students from KJ Somaiyah, BIMTEC Noida & Thapar Univ. 3. The general population in Havells is not very knowledgeable in Electrical Technology. So you will have to study all by yourself to make a difference. This attitude will help you crack companies like Siemens, ABB, Schneider & Eaton Tech.
