Dislikes

1. Appraisal process is not at all transparent and everything right from the basic salary, benefits, promotion, salary hikes, variable pay and even co. sponsored training & higher education opportunities are dependent on this appraisal process. This creates huge difference in CTC betwee n two persons of same cadre. 2. There is no role of HR dept. in the appraisal process, only the ratings by superiors are sole deciders in this appraisal process. 3. No discussion happens with the employee in this whole appraisal process and no feedback given to the employee for improvement after this process is completed. 4. Salary & remuneration packages are very low compared to the market. 5. No appreciation / reward is given for good contribution to the business. Persons who closely and directly interact with the senior management, those only get appreciated. Contribution of others and the entire team remain hidden. 6. Majority of the seniors play the role of only boss, not the leaders, who takes the credit of success, but not ready to accept the accountability of failures. 7. Decision making needs to be much faster. 8. No sub ordinate to delegate works effectively and focus on important & decisive works to achieve the end results. 9. Even after working for no. years in this co., specialized skills are not competently developed compared to same role in other companies. 10. No work life balance due to huge work pressure (even on holidays sometimes). 11. No role clarity of individuals among the team. 12. In time is very strict, even leaves are deducted for late attendence. But no certainty of out time....Read More

Very good opportunity for working in HR Department. There are lot of things to learn across all the functions in HR. One will feel his/her own part of responsibility and contribution toward the company. Self driven activities will encourage a person to learn and self develop his/her skill

Dislikes

Just like any other MNC, hierarchy and promotion, recognition remains. These are just a common issue for any organization which doesn't actually makes a company good or bad. This is simply case to case basis for any employee. However, in my opinion, nothing as such of now

1. Job Security- Even in dull period there is a opportunity for staff to move to other divisions of L&T. 2. Challenging Projects- Large size EPC projects in remote locations of India, shutdown projects with a world record breaking schedule are being executed by L&T- M&M. 3. Supportive & Highly demanding management- Management is pushing & supporting to go extra miles to complete projects ahead of schedule. Which boosts the confidence of staff member. 4. On time performance- Most of the projects are done on time even it is not a profitable project. I feel very proud on receiving appreciation & recognition for this. 5. Freedom to learn & experiment new techniques/innovative ideas ; We are motivated & encouraged to implement digital technologies, Modular works on Projects. 6. International Projects; Opportunities for staff to work & gain international exposure as company has presence in MENA region and projects in UAE, KSA, Oman and Egypt. 7. Work culture: It gives a feel of working as one family. Seniors are always supportive for job & for any personal requirements....Read More

Dislikes

1. Work life balance on project sites is an issue as most of the projects executed has a stringent time schedule. 2. Less opportunities for growth beyond certain level of Sr management, as organisation has limited positions in higher levels.

Dislikes

salary increment value is very less (even less than yearly inflation rate), Reduced PLR, wide salary difference between low & high rated staffs, Preference on some engineers for assigning jobs even he is overloaded. Ill-treatment by some senior members to junior collegues is just unbear able. This propagates similar bad feeling and hatred to fellow colleagues down the line. Work must be combined with good behavior, sweet words, proper respectful interaction, love and affection. Productivity and motivation will then shoot up automatically. Improper rating of junior colleagues (for some cases)....Read More

The appraisal system is a cause of demotivation for many, as the policy forces differentiation even if the employees are equally capable in most of the cases

The structured pattern of the company & it's database makes it the most formidable company to handle different types of engineering projects.

Dislikes

The core L&T group(started their career in L&T) are the most privileged category, enjoys most of the benifits. Those who joins as experienced,takes extreme pressure to prove their worth,gets less paid, even with quality output. The management hides the all benifits, promotion norms, bonus sy stems almost always thus employees, feel deprived most of the time</mark>. Usually MMH division recruits very good people with a very tough screening process,to execute projects with very low margin. Then transfers or retrench them when those are over. Again recruits new ones for another project. In L&T MMH most of the appraisers not only feels but even compares the candidate's salary with whatever he/she used to get at the same age, these are all horrible practice and absurd. Taking leave even in family urgency is also very very difficult. Finally the ambiance is not very cordial. People use to understand the situation with a blink of an eye or something like that. Atmosphere is always very tensed....Read More

Extremely sorry state. I was asked to come to office the next day of my son's birth & visit a dusty site with a severe viral conjunctivitis that too from another office colleague who was already suffering from the infection.
