LG Soft India "Learning" Reviews

Likes

1. LSET exam: One positive aspect is that the company encourages employees to clear LSET exam which can be beneficial for skill development. However, the managers who nominate candidates to attend the exam seem biased.

Dislikes

1. Poor appraisal system: The appraisal system is not transparent. There is limited growth in terms of career progression. 2. No work life balance: The company does not prioritize employee well-being. 3. Strict timings: Employees are expected to log in by 9AM and leaving by 8PM is considered EARLY (official logout time is 6PM). 4. Unrealistic work Expectations: There is an unspoken expectation to work minimum 12 hours a day, every day, throughout the year. Even if the work is completed, employees are still expected to stay in the office for long hours. Failing to do so results in consequences. 5. No development: All projects are maintenance projects. No scope of learning new technologies which hinders professional growth. Additionally, some managers adapted a "government job mentality" - they rarely touch their laptops, and spend their time on non-productive activities (I suggest that management should focus on fostering innovative ideas and encourage the team to explore new technologies). 6. Unprofessional managers: The management team, especially direct reporting managers, regularly engage in inappropriate behavior, such as objectifying female colleagues during tea breaks. Additionally, they lack basic professionalism and manners when interacting with employees. 7. Blind support from higher management: Higher management consistently provides blind support to reporting managers, even when their behavior is unprofessional or harmful to the team. 8. HR lacks authority: HR does not have the power or influence to address issues that affect the work environment. 9. 9-Hour mandatory office hours: The company enforces a strict 9-hour office schedule, with pay cuts for those who don't meet it. However, this isn't an issue as employees are already working 12 hours every day. Avoid joining HES(Home entertainment solutions)/MS(Media solutions) department....Read More

I started working in LG last may. and this review is just about my team, not a whole company. My team is good, especially because we have a technical manager who understands what challenges I go through. Recently my coding skills got better because of LSET coding tests they conduct, it is not mandatory, but if you clear it you get recognition and respect from higher management . Pay is also good compare to many other companies in my domain. Even though i have been here for just about eight months, they still considered me for appraisal. i was hoping for max 5% hike but to my surprise i got 20%. i was so happy , surprised and I had happy tears. I don't know if this is the normal hike they give or if they have given only this year. and if you have any new ideas, managers are open to listen to it, they will give time for POC, later they will review POC, if response is good, later you can work on it...Read More
