Hughes Systique Corporation Production, Manufacturing & Engineering Department Reviews

Employer’s Response

Dear HSCian, Thank you for your approving review on HSC’s culture of employee centricity, which enables all our employees to balance their professional & personal lives while working on some of the most cutting-edge technologies & ample of opportunities. Before addressing the dislikes section of your review, we would like you to understand how the appraisal cycle works at HSC. We are an equal opportunity employer; compensation, fitments & revisions are independent of gender, ethnicity, age, colour & nationality etc. Constant feedback is shared with employees through the year. Compensation is reviewed once every year in April based on the performance of the employee, salary band for that role/grade and are aligned with the market offering for the respective skill set. Also, when you say that there is “no proper monitoring of employees”, it lacks any context and does not provide a clear picture. At HSC, we have over the years created and curated a culture of employee centricity which also acts as the cornerstone of our foundational values. Since we have an open-door policy, our employees are always encouraged to talk to their managers, engineering group head or engineering head for that matter if they require any guidance or feedback. As HSC is a PCMM & CMMi Level 5 certified organisation, all of our departments and engagements are guided by a clearly defined framework, policies and procedures for talent management & engagement. Every employee is bound to have a 1v1 meeting with their managers and in every few months with their skip-level managers. Using internal platforms like Q2M, Zero Hour, Amber etc. employees can always share their concerns and suggestions with the management. While our dedicated Learning & Development team schedules various comprehensive trainings from time to time with active inputs from Engineering, employees can always talk to their managers as trainings can be self-recommended or be recommended by managers in consultation with the employee regarding his/her aspirations, role expectations or project requirements. In addition to that we also have Tech Talks which facilitates learning of newer technologies and a fully stocked & updated library with books ranging from technology to management. Then there are the Centers of Excellence, where employees can learn and interact with like-minded engineers to work & innovate on technology of their choice. While we promote learning and are always there to provide guidance, monitoring in terms of constant micromanaging is not what we encourage at HSC. Wishing many more years of your happy association with us.

Dear HSCian, We are glad that you found the culture, salary & benefits, work satisfaction & work life balance, appraisal policies and job security factors as “good” at HSC. Thank you for your approving review. We would like you to know that never in the past or present we have ever advertised or aspired as such to be in the topmost quartile as far as compensation is concerned. Our benefits package along with people centric work environment, an enabling family like culture and opportunity to work on latest technologies for global customers makes us one of the best companies to work for in our industry. Also, HSC lays strong emphasis on learning and growth of employees through collaboration with best tech minds, cutting-edge technologies to work on, exposure to global footprint - be it customer or onsite teams. We encourage you to talk to your manager who could guide you towards the Centers of Excellence, where in you can learn and interact with likeminded engineers to work & innovate on technology of your choice or by attending training seminars & workshops for engineers on a regular basis by our dedicated Learning & Development department. We also conduct monthly Tech Talks, which facilitates learning of newer technologies. In addition, you can also talk to your manager regarding your learning aspirations, as they will be able to recommend relevant trainings for you on basis the discussion. HSCians can also self-recommend training courses they want to get trained on and learn at their own pace. You can also approach our dedicated Learning & Development team to know more about such initiatives, as they schedule trainings & workshops for engineers on a regular basis. You can also talk to your engineering group head, engineering head or leverage platforms like Amber, Q2M, My Ideas Matter etc. to share your concerns and suggestions if you wish to do so, anonymously. Wishing many more years of your happy association with us.

Dear anonymous, We would like to start by thanking you for reviewing HSC as “Good” in the parameters of Salary & Benefits, Work Satisfaction, Work-Life Balance, Skill Development and Company Culture. Although, in the likes & dislikes section of the review, you have contradicted yourself. When you say that you like “absolutely nothing” and have made up your mind for the same, it displays your mindset which is more focused on disliking the organization rather than communicating about your concerns. We have always encouraged all our employees irrespective of hierarchy or department to talk to their manager, engineering group head, engineering head or for that matter to Mr. Vinod Sood, MD, whose doors are always open for HSCians. You could have also used internal platforms like Amber, Q2M, Zero Hour etc. and shared your concerns or suggestions anonymously. While there is always a way for those who seek to identify the problem and look for solutions, but instead you chose to share vague and misleading comments without providing any context, fact or basis. We thank you for your contributions at HSC.
