      Former Employee, more than 5 years

      Exploitation and Politics in the name of MNC

      17 Jun 2021 - Assistant Manager - Design in Visakhapatnam
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. GET gets promoted quickly when compared to others. 2. Decent salary yet, significantly less than other companies.

      Cons

      1. The number of working hours are too high. 2. JETs or lateral entry personnel are not given the same respect as GETs. 3. No 'work from home' during high COVID period. 4. No knowledge with respect to Design in Vizag. 5. High politics. 6. Biased rating system. When asked for feedback, "You are good but others are better" is what is told to the employees. 7. The actual bosses who stay in Powai never come and talk to the employees. Even if they do, they don't resolve the issues which are faced at the ground level. 8. FTCs are not given a hike at all. Contract staff and FTC staff are not given respect unless they are related to a Naval officer. 9. The top management does not care about the employees or their health. Leaves are not given at the required time. People who were just recovered from COVID were also called to office, without caring about their body pains. 10. Highly political company. 11. No work life balance at all. 12. Almost everything that is to be done is hidden the carpet with a single lie- "we work in the customer premises and we cannot do anything regarding it".

      Experience as a GET

      Pros

      Salary comes on time at the end of month

      Cons

      Long working hours(12 hrs) Work is mostly not related to education The experience you gain here is simply how to lie and manage people while taking excessive stress. If you are not sure whether you don't want to get into construction, then don't get into it. Saturdays are also working.
