THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF RESOURCE REDUCTION IN COMING DAYS, SO BETTER NOT TO JOIN FOR WHATEVER CTC. THERE ARE NO PROJECTS IN HAND AND ALL THE CURRENT PROJECTS ARE IN END PHASE. THERE IS VERY HIGH ATTRITION AND NO ONE IS WILLING TO JOIN THE COMPANY. A PROJECT WHERE 10-15 PEOPLE MUST BE PRESENT IS MANAGED BY 5 PEOPLE. MANAGEMENT SAYSNO BUDGET.
1) There is permanent work from home option
2) The is pay is on the higher side when compared to other automotive companies in Bengaluru.
3) Some team members are friendly....Read More
Dislikes
THERE IS NO FORECAST FOR >4 MONTHS. NO PROJECTS IN HAND. MANAGEMENT CONVENIENTLY SKIPS THE QUESTIONS RELATED TO FUTURE.
1) There is no concept of onsite/deputation.
2) GKN India is a service provider company of GKN Germany. No decision making happens in India. Even to click OK in some tools, Germans have to say yes. Managers in India don't get to say anything.
3) German junior engineers have more decision making power than Indian Managers.
4) There is no function (ASW) development. Only BSW/BLDR development happens in India. ASW projects are only maintenance and unit testing.
5) A LOT OF people have left the company for the above reasons. The attrition was more than 30%...Read More

1. Gkn holds very less project.
2. Job security is not at all there. They just ask you to leave in a month notice. 3. 30% people were layed off recently.
4. It's like a freelancing to work in GKN. They hold you with good package and work from home till project goes to sop. After that they will lay you off.
5. They don't even give you a proper notice.

Poor management
Management team has no skills even freshers are better
German counterparts are very rude and think as if we are salves to them
No strategies for any kind of work
They expect to work everyday till late night and weekend works
Every project is on fire due to poor management
It’s endless!
Never join GKN else you will be locked!

Nothing. Everything is bad here
Dislikes
The company holds a grudge against you if you say anything against it or say you don’t like something.
Stressful work environment and they ask you to work for 14 hours for 6 days a week but in your contract it says 5 days and 9 hours everyday.
Managers words are final. You don’t get to say anything.
First preference to boot lickers.If you work hard, then they throw everything at you and people who are praising managers simply don’t do any work. You have to do their work as well....Read More
