Total Environment Building Systems Architect Reviews

Likes

The company as a whole is a nice place to work and learn as a professional but be wise to choose your Department and Project.

Dislikes

For Design Managers, there's no work-life balance. You are expected to take work calls on literally all weekly off and eventually end up working the whole day. You literally have to beg your manager to take leaves for more than 3 days and a lot of micromanaging that happens internally, which might end up creating a toxic environment after a point.

The quality of the old projects are good compared to new projects in terms of design.

Dislikes

Company wants very high skilled people for day wage labour equivalent salaries. Consider below points before joining the company. 1. Salary delays (2-3 months for junior role posts, 5-8 months for senior role posts) and Appraisal delays (5-7 months, FY2021 -22 appraisals came in Nov 2021). 2. Less growth (5%, if your manager doesn't want you to grow, irrespective of your deliverables quality and efficiency). 3. Long work hours even on saturdays & sundays though officially holidays. Managers during the regular day evenings and weekends be like 'I don't know what you do, I want you to do this and send it by tonight'. 4. Tight deadlines for people who delivers work effectively and these people have to pull out extra work hours on a daily basis (Avg work hours come to 11-13 hrs). 5. Late deposits of EPF (1 yr delay). 6. Non-responsive HR department even after numerous mails asking for pending salaries (with crappy corporate policies, which themselves don't know how to implement), 7. To much coordination works without any outputs for long time. 8. All projects of the company run in delays (5-7 yrs) and no proper timelines given for customers on projects delivery (customers generally make dharnas in the company on a regular basis). 9. Lot of micromanagement from the head managent and the team members have to take approvals for even for a small change in designs. 10. Very high attrition rate (> 40%), few new people who joined in the senior posts like CFO (finance), Project CEO's, etc. left the company with in 2-3 months of their joining. 11. Few of the seniors in few teams are just timepass people. You will see this mostly in PMO, liaison, all design departments, etc....Read More
