Ashok Leyland Senior Manager salaries in Chennai

Likes

As it is Indian OEM has good work content. We can learn technically a lot. In pandemic situation company did not cut monthly salary for employees. Decent food. Free bus to office.

Dislikes

The R&D Location is not easily accessible via public transport. Even OLA cabs getting difficult. Due to location the travel timing will be very early in morning and late in evening we will feel isolated from outside world people. Apart from company provided bus no option. 2 wheelers not recommended due to safety. Late hours working, working on holidays are being encouraged and expected from employees. No team outings. still old culture of calling with "Sir".

There is enough freedom to express your thoughts. Higher or Top management are approachable Dress code is must only for production unit employees Conveyance is provided at minimal cost from various corners of the city All locations are accessible by public transport system also except founderies

Dislikes

... Chaos and confusions are common place and last mile delivery is so stressful. Salary policy is non existent. You can see lateral hires getting less than 10 lacs per annum CTC with more than 20 years of experience in domains other than finance or admin. But there are diploma holders with 4 or 5 years experience getting more than 10 lacs per annum . There is no equation suits the distribution.

Very few lateral entries who still working for lower bucks

Dislikes

Compensation is very low for lateral entries. And growth also very narrow. Since it is a automotive type daily work pressure will be high to meet the customers and projects requirements. During appraisal my achievements are not appreciated and considered and each time my manager tells it was management driven project. Senior HR people always telling that Ashokleyland one of the highest payers in India, which is absolute fake statement. Mid management

Dislikes

No brotherhood A lot of politics (due to Indian culture like any govt. office) Have to work with more experienced old aged but less knowledgeable persons. Environment is very bad Work Life balance is very very very poor Salary & Benefits are good if you are DGM & above You can't survive until you are on Top position or you are a South Indian Can make you corrupt as many chances to take and give bribe.
