Aker Solutions Research & Development Department Salaries in India

Likes

KL office has 40 hours per week spread over four and half days with flexible timings.

Dislikes

75% of the resources are on contract and through agencies on the contracts like "No-Work-No-Pay". They don't consider human factors like during covid time, the physical office was locked down due to some reported covid cases and people had to return back to home and the management did not have any provision for contractual employees, etc.

Awesome company to work with, they give u good exposure & Opportunities for individuals growth. Very less politics. HODs are nice. Both onshore and offshore experience u can get. Also they give overseas opportunities for deputation.

Dislikes

Growth is good but compensation is low as compared to other companies. Buy still managable as u get job satisfaction and good family life.

Please make sure one negotiate well on designation, salary, permanent status and other benefits before joining company as it can impact long term goal to stay with company and overall financial satisfaction. There is virtually no transparency with regard to the above mentioned points and one has to be very vigilant on the same failing which otherwise could lead to unsatisfactory overall package, position, status etc. With regard to work culture if one is operating with foreign clients then it is challenging and regarding as well. I don't have idea on working with domestic (Indian) projects in the Company as my Clients are overseas.

Dislikes

Virtually no transparency in salary, permanent or contract status or designation etc. Experience skills and past designation are not well considered during offer. Candidate had to negotiate strongly for his/ her own case and stay firm on the offering that one has in his / her mind.
