Armstrong Robotics & Technologies Private Limited IT Engineer Reviews

Likes

Nothing much to like. The company boast about 'Special Leave' for female employees but it is actually deducted from 'Paid leave'.

Dislikes

A Company with No Vision, Poor Leadership and Zero Employee Consideration. The company lacks vision, direction and clarity from leadership team. Work-life balance is non existent. Employees are expected to work on Saturdays or on leaves without any prior commitments. The HR department is practically absent- unresponsive on calls andemails when employees need support. Policies and processes are changed overnight by leadership team and they fail to provide proper guidance but are quick to blame the team for any short comings. Instead of motivating employees they create a demoralizing work environment. In terms of professional growth there is nothing to learn. Increments are are not given on time. There is too much of micromanagement and the company culture is toxic. Despite the company completed 25 years, there were no efforts to appreciated the employees throughout the year. The leadership , unfortunately is driven by ego rather than support. Overall it is one of the worst company I have worked, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for stability, growth or healthy work culture especially for people outside Nashik. Also the company infrastructure of Pune office is pathetic....Read More

1. Leadership from the SCM Head, Design Head, Solution Design Head, HR Head and Plant Heads are commendable. However, the IT Leader, PMO Leader needs improvement. 2. Entry and mid-level engineers are provided with ample learning opportunities, which is encouraging for skill development. 3. The HR team is efficient and proactive, organizing enjoyable events like Armstrong and APL. Their support during the exit process is noteworthy, with commendable cadence across all offices, though policies needs improvement. 4.The Automation Head and the team demonstrate excellent teamwork and collaboration within the Automation department, ensuring seamless and efficient operations. 5. Special leave provisions for women are a thoughtful initiative...Read More

Dislikes

1. The infrastructure feels more like showbiz rather than being genuinely functional for employees' needs, Tea is provided in small cups, no canteen facility, strict timings, site situations are worse. 2.The payroll team and accounts department need significant improvement in behavior, as rudeness and inappropriate comments from the Accounts Head create a negative environment

1 Armstrong is best in learning & great exposure to engineering background students. 2 Armstrong can teach you alot politics which are useful in future 🤣 3 Hierarchy were being followed before 2024 4 The department heads of Solution,Technology,Robotics,Electrical,Automation, Project Engineering are experts. 5 Hiring, Onboarding and Exit Process is fine.

Dislikes

No work life balance as management started 2 & 4 Saturday working but if any paid leave comes on Saturday then it is shifted to next Saturday HR is puppet of Top Management Accounts Head seems like he is going to rule organization in upcoming days interference in everywhere. Management should know because of people the organization is growing As this was the year of 25 silver jubilee to grow more but their thinking is going backwards The policies regarding benefits of employees are worst (Leaves paid Holidays coff od) Strict Timings as employees are going to school and not to company 🤣 Micromanagement is trending this year as Top management is directly connecting to lower level Permanent WFH is only allowed to family people because there is alot biasness and that comes through Top M...Read More

Armstrong fosters a family-like culture with supportive colleagues. The Recruitment team is highly efficient, and events are entertaining. Teamwork in the few departments is commendable, and the work environment is approachable and collaborative.

Dislikes

The Accounts team tends to be rude. The ER system requires improvement, and the DA needs a revision. Founders should limit their involvement in minor operational matters. Micromanagement in Robotics Department must be looked at. They have started 6 days working now. And Attendance login is strict in minutes.

So I started my journey in this company in 2021, Armstrong is like school for start of your career where you get to learn explore deeply and gain knowledge of every department transparently. Most liked process like in my work time: 1. The HR and teammates prepares a smooth on-board for employees meeting / introducing each and every department individual which gives good friendly start. Introducing new activities or learning. 2. Apart for the on-board I observed that the HR gives you flexible availability understands your problems technical issues or any other.... 3. You can explore every department technology as there's no barrier for learning kept. Infact the Owner and Chairman himself are so pro active and transparent with employees which give support and comfort. 4. The nature of employees which is the best part of having friendly environment from the HR team to the ground level workers . 5. Support level from the senior managers / leaders gives push to your work related to any sort of guidance or new learning. 6. So it's myth from everyone I say imagining that the HR is enemy for employees with reason of termination or exit or problems, I believe HR is mediator between management and employees but in my time what I experienced is the support towards employees side is first from the HR head and team. 7. So apart from points I believe if you want to grow up make entry to company and get started, it's not about keeping good image giving good points but I think personal traits or anger is jot way to showcase here. My duty is to give feedback what I've learnt....Read More

Dislikes

So there are no such dislikes but we can say somethings need to be improved. 1. Direct connection of managers to MD and Chairman to be stopped, there should be a Director leading for every dept. Direct escalation to be not accepted in any case weather employees are old or new. 2. Manners from employees at basic level should be followed having habits behavior communication way. 3. Micromanagement should be stopped for upgrading technologies and things. 4. Job description and scope should be cleared by the manager with help of HR. 5. Unwanted post promotions to be stopped which relates that if employee is favorable or old only after interview for the position the promotion is to be done. 6. Management should go through HR for delivering rules policies or any state change in work. 7. Most important point favorism to be stopped . 8. Favorism for / from old people is to be stopped. 9. I specially felt that some team leaders directly communicates with you having oldage experience in company having favor from higher management and the user has to perform the tasks fearfully. Or any unnecessary tasks are also assigned which are doesn't into your profile scope. 10. Even there are some cases where your being asked to do which are easy and out of the scope too, eg: calls asked for to start cpu which is self independent task, hdmi cables, managing audio systems, and so on .... 11. Main is there should be IT Director for process and policies which actually creates aura towards department. 12. Respect for Infra team I felt is just as backend worker . Where anyone blindly just orders and the has to be done because there are some VIP names heard. 13. Got only 1 outstanding rating in 3 years that's actually funny that management never found weather I'm capable or not very funny even after setting up a big infrastructure....Read More

Nothing much to like. No one is continuing jobs due to politics as every department is hold by few people. Managers don't even know how to talk with team & behave with team.

Dislikes

Nothing is good. Useless HR policy- HR head is manner less person.(Female employee not safe). Project - zero level project management. SCM - don't care site requirement they will take months to deliver small stuff on site. IT- this department has its own ego. Never response mail and meetings. Electrical- don't know what type panel and system they are designing for every project. Automation - high internal politics. control by few people with lots of domination. Most of people & managers eating tobacco in toilet. Useless site travel and stay with very less benefits. Accomodation is most thrid class level. They don't have money to keep desk clean company asks employees to clean there desk. Most of female managers don't have eligibility for position but they are controlling many departments due to upper management influence (affairs)...Read More

Here as for learning perspective you can learn a lot. No one is going to stop you but you cant grow financially or technically if you stay here for long time. The team will support you if any mistake you have committed. No one will tell everything solving a problem so you will automatically learn the thing you solving it yourself thats why i said you can learn new things.

Dislikes

1. There is less possibility that you can get managing position or other higher ranks because those places can never get vacant. 2. The company never helps you they always get attached with their policy. 3. They monitor you like kids, for eg if you go to site you have to punch in with truein before 9 at site. And punch out properly. 4. Even if you do great job they wont recognise you that easily. 5. You wont get lot of leaves. They give no OD for travelling. 6. Daily you have to fill 3 form about what you worked today, even if you are working with a headache under pressure you have to fill it or else you wont get salary. 7. They wont give appraisal that easily. 8. At site you need to adjust you can get good rooms for staying. 9. DA is very low only 500 at site. If you go to metro cities you have to spend it from you pocket. 10. Literally we engineers stay at site for 3 months. Most of the engineers eat at road side dirty shops just imagine how would be their health if this situation is for 3 months 😂. However they give insurance policies to help you out of this. 11. One of the poorest HR management, they can never realise what is their work is actually. TO THE COMPANY, When you are running a company you must have an attitude you the person selling the machines you not behave like a street vendor come come see my office see out project. You guys have completed these many projects then you must have created that impact till now without any visit you must get the order. You need an attitude, this i saw very cheap. You are for 25 years in the same conveyors still you are calling customer and showing those same conveyors. Never seen such silly organisation. Why you guys implanting in the employees heart saying that customer is our priority and your attitude is also the same. You can’t understand you can get customers easily but you never get a good employee that easily just analyse how many skilled employees have resigned and analyse the reason. Whenever we hear customer is our priority it feels unsafe. Understand the customer wont treat the employee as same way as you treat at the site. I hope if you change it this will get more make the employees stay as like you want....Read More
