The only good thing about working in Kalpataru is the people. It has the nicest, warmest co-workers you'll ever find. And since there is not much work to do anyway, teams are mostly partying and gossiping.

Dislikes

1. Very messed up organisation structure with little or no clarity on job role for each department 2. Multiple departments doing duplication of labour only to justify employment 3. No appraisal from 2018 to 2021 and hence no increments and no variable pay component 4. No PF or NPS deposited since Oct 2019 even though it is deducted from your salary 5. Delayed salary since September 2019/January 2020 which had nothing to do with the pandemic. At any point of time 3-5 months salary was pending during the pandemic 6. Employees were forced to come to office during the pandemic even though all the projects were stalled and no salary or fuel allowance. People had to shell out nearly 1000 bucks per day on fuel when no salary was being paid. To come to office and sit with no work happening for 9 hours. Most frustrating punishment ever. 7. HR department is the most clueless department in the company 8. Employees who resigned have still not received F&F or any clarity on whether they will receive any F&F ever for 6 months now. 9. Lapsed health insurance has not been renewed for all employees. And this in a CONSTRUCTION company where a lot of employees work on project sites, during a pandemic! 10. Would not recommend joining this organisation. It is no more what it used to be. Now it is just another family business being stingy and unethical....Read More

Great office setup and infrastructure. That's it. I am yet to discover the goodness of this company

Dislikes

The management is really poor here. I was expecting a lot coming from Kalpataru brand. But there are no benefits, bonus compensation etc here for employees. If you work you get more work...that's it. Salary is 4 months delayed. Projects are never on time as too many ego issues between people within departments...Read More

Work life is really a struggle as you are literally going around in circles doing the same thing over and over again. People here do not like finishing a task and getting over to the next one.

Work-life balance is really good. People are friendly, welcoming and helpful most of the times. There are plenty of opportunities to learn from peers and seniors. Knowledge exchange by way of lectures, seminars, site visits and even regular mailers is continuous and commendable. Also, the name on your CV impresses future recruiters.

Dislikes

The culture while dealing with work is not very conducive to the company's or an employee's growth as the inter-departmental silo culture/competition is very deeply entrenched in the way of working. More time is wasted in blame game and proving who is right as against uniting as one organisation and working for the project at hand. <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;"> The salary situation has been abysmal since late 2019 and Covid-19 was the final blow</mark>. At any point of time, salaries of 3-5 months have been pending since March 2020 across all levels. There have been lay-offs. There is no clarity as to when an appraisal will happen or when the pending salary will be paid. The last appraisal was for the 2018-19 fiscal for which letters still have not been handed out. So currently everyone is working at the salary dating back to 2017-18 fiscal. HR is usually clueless when faced with any questions regarding appraisals or salary. If the company manages to break the high walls between departments and change the work culture, its a great organisation to work for. Covid-19 financial situation is bound to change sooner or later externally. The internal change is what needs effort....Read More

Dislikes

Top Management gets un-necesarily involved in micro working of departments. Excess of staff leading to duplication of work. Departments are over staffed. The company structure is an upside down triangle. Employees laid off despite HR promises not to downsize during the pandemic. Employees not paid salaries during pandemic"background-color: #fff5e4;">. Only 2 months salary paid during the pandemic that too with salary cuts</mark>. Laid off employees still not given their full compensations. PF amounts not deposited since Oct-19 and no commitments of payment till date...Read More
