It is now only WSP(not WSP-PB), job satisfaction, challenging job profile, as job is project based there is always something new to look forward, supportive line, reporting Managers, cooperative colleagues, employee retention even in difficult business environment, politics which are manageable, good work life balance; what else cana employee ask for? Of course due to persistent difficult market conditions pay raise is almost non-existant, however that is not limited to WSP alone and is industry wide phenomenon....Read More

Dislikes

I do not work for an organisation or Manager whom I dislike badly, I will leave such organisation. In case of WSP I did not find anything major to dislike, there might some instances of friction due to some stressful situations but then that is how life is, we need to adjust and manage such issues and move ahead.

Higher work loads, appraisal process and evaluation of employee is not clear or may not exist because of lack of growth of business itself and tough market conditions.

Feedback is life line of growth and performance but that is not the norm....Read More
