You have better job security compared to local industries.Free transport and average appraisals.

Dislikes

There are no equal pay policy at same level position.You can find huge variations between the same grade pay. The work load also vary from person to person,some are overburdened and some are at leisure. The shift timings are very long,company makes you work for 48 hrs in 5 days.Most of the things are confidential,and people are very reluctant to sharing up knowledge. Career growth depends on how well you can bond up with HOD. The HR Dept is just for show up & everything is directed to HOD. <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;"> Appraisals are average around 10% inspite of company growing at rate of approx 35%</mark>. Politics is high & people believe in passing the buck....Read More

It's a very good company to work for. Since it basically deals in the commercial vehicle domain (rail/truck), the technology doesn't change so fast. The employees work on same technology for years especially in the rail department. This becomes a drawback if you want to work on different technologies and grow your skills but at the same time it comes with a pro of job security since by working on the same tech for years you kinda expert that domain. As far as the compensation is considered, it's average, its neither on the high side nor on the low side. Competitors are providing more attractive packages as compared to Knorr Bremse Technical Center India Private Limited. I never faced any issues with the work life balance but this may be because of the team I am a part of and my manager is just great(not every manager can be awesome). Onsite opportunities are good for some specific projects and no travel opportunities for some other project so it all depends on the team you are a part of. The company was earlier in to providing it's services to it's client and had no product of its own but the time has changed now and the management wants in house product development with complete ownership and they are taking some serious steps for the same. If you are lucky enough you will get to work on complete cycle of SDLC but that depends on which project you are deployed. As far as politics is concerned, every industry has office politics, favourites of manager and favourites of Directors. So yes others who are not really good into making efforts towards building good relationship, might get a feel of wrath of office politics but it all depends on the person. Appraisal is good usually between 10 -15% depending upon your performance (and your relationship with your manager and directors 😉). I got a promotion hike of just 4% and that's disgusting....Read More

Dislikes

Nothing much to say here except average salary, slow growth, too many levels for lower level designations(engineers, senior engineers, etc).

Work Details

The work is good at start but becomes boring with time as usual. As the company is in commercial vehicles do not expect latest technology to be a part of your work. You will have to work on same technology and same projects for years.
