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

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
