The company offers a balanced work life balance, with clear compensation. (all fixed, no variable). There is intermittent pressure of work.

Dislikes

1. The company has a fixed mindset and not aggressive on growth 2. The managememt as well as the entire sales team (barring one or 2 sales people) are in comfort zone, very resistant to change and new ideas. They work on the principal, "this industry is like this only". 3. There is a lack of planning in Sales and therefore production and forecast is very ad-hoc. They seem to live by the day. Till afternoon there is no clarity what and how much will be the end of day sales. 4. Because of this long term planning is difficult. This uncertainty sometimes creates undue pressure. 5. Sales people also are very weak in commercial terms and love to give extra credit days to Buyers, increasing company exposure and risk, in order to secure ad-hoc sales. Overall, the top management is mediocre and unable to control the sales team creating a non competitive environment that doesn't support personal growth. Did I mention that every deptt is concerned about saving their own skin!

...anding their business out of India. Job is secure only if no big-time screw-ups. Salary mostly on time - last business day or 1st working day.

Dislikes

Total discrimination as 5-day working for Sales, Technical Services, Senior Management and IT staff in manufacturing plants as well as entire corporate office headcount while all other departments have to work on all Saturdays. Moreover, GM and above people can come and go anytime but lower ranks have only 30 minutes grace period for the entire month and if late thereafter, half-day every day considered for rest of the payroll month. No Diwali bonus at all if you are a white-collar worker. Do you want more?
