Likes

I joined HPL by year end 2007, Haldia was just stone's through away from NANDIGRAM( scene of a big political turmoil). The agricultural Land owners were based in Kolkata and the real farmers were in Nandigram. Local strongmen forced people to leave their livelihood, and this tussle was painted in communal colours.Those effects were evident on HPL. And further, There were serious ownership issues. Delay in execution of Project Supermax was final nail in the coffin of our careers. Still an able local company management ensured that the organization was kept afloat. Many good Engineers left due to gross confusion during delayed stake sale by Government of West Bengal. Although a standalone unit, still manages to maximize profits inspite of stiff competition since employees at all level are extremely dedicated, and organization has got best system of functioning. Local contractor people are a bit nuisance as they lack basic maturity in handling diversity. SB Ex-Deputy Mgr. Mechanical

The H.R.E.L. Township is one the best townships available in the city. Good medical benefits for employee as well as family. Good exposure to a lot of technological aspects.

Dislikes

Average pay is way less than other industries in the same sector. Appraisal rating system is extremely biased. Same people keep on getting highest ratings year after year without doing anything just because of favouritism. Very poor work culture, toxic environment. Not at all a "start-of-career" kind of company.
