Round 1 - Aptitude Test 

The HR policy is very bad. The notice period there is 2 months for Assistant Manager and 3 months for Deputy Manager. If you do not serve the notice period, they deduct the gross salary and not the basic salary. And they do not give any full and final breakup certificate.
Because the company I was joining had bought my notice period. But Bharat Wire did not give me any full and final breakup certificate. Due to this, the company I joined did not give me the notice period money. My amount was about 83000 rupees. My money got lost because of Bharat Wire.
I emailed HR many times. But HR did not reply to my email.
If I talk specifically about the electrical department, there is rule of two people who talk like non-technical. And they do not have the manners to talk to seniors and juniors. Only those who do not know anything and who can bear their abuses are working there.
I would especially refuse to join this electrical department as long as these people are there. Even if you join there, within a week you will feel that we took a wrong decision. And you will be mentally stressed. Because you will be tortured so much. The electrical department has a completely toxic environment.
The canteen food is absolutely bad. Even dogs would not like such food.
Bharat Wire had a very good image in the market long ago. People wanted to join this company.
but today no one wants to join Bharat Wire whoever comes to know about it. That is why before joining, people connect with people on LinkedIn and take feedback, which is also right.
