Poor work culture in India

Pros

No Pros to speak about. For an organisation of this stature, processes are ancient and people have a bad attitude.

Cons

Unreasonable timelines from Management. Bureaucratic processes that take time but employees are made responsible for outcomes that take long because of inefficient processes. No work life balance for support functions. Poor planning by management. Work is not uniformly distributed in teams and certain team members are overloaded and work 12+ hours and some team members work less than 8. No respect for individuals. Certain people are treated very poorly. Leaders yell and speak harshly to team members and it’s a constantly stressful environment.

Pros

Steady paycheck. Above average wages.

Cons

Pitiful working conditions; soggy location; inbred, arrogant and mostly ruthless management; non-negotiable salaries and/or assignmentconstraints; age discriminatory; coworkers may be mostly strangers; lack of peer promotions (none, 0) over a 10 year span; lack of organizational direction; organizations use employees to perpetually reinvent arcane processes, needed or not; job assignments and performance appraisals are used to keep employees off-balance to avoid promotions.

Pros

- Excellent 401(k) match - 40 hour/week baseline - Competitive health benefits - Stable workplace if you want to just show up to work and meet expectations for 40 years and earn a pretty good salary - Opportunities to seek out paid overtime if you desire higher compensation - You help build a magnificent engineering wonder

Cons

- Rampant age discrimination against young employees - Compensation and promotions are tenure-based not achievement/skill-based - Union mentalities harm workplace culture - Regular overtime required for all roles related to manufacturing - Senior management is incompetent beyond comprehension - You may be asked to commit unethical acts - Cares more about how many hours you're in your chair than how productive you are - Extreme bureaucracy - Novel ideas are shunned - Senior individual contributors no longer have cutting edge skill sets but are still paid the highest salaries and do not learn new things - "Alternative facts" culture; facts don't matter - the loudest person wins the argument - It's nearly impossible to fire anyone, especially in union segments, even if they consistently fail to meet expectations
