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

Dislikes

You will get promotion but no monetary gain. Location wise lack of medical facilities, Even Haldia does not have any multi speciality hospital. You will get more snake around in this place. Not any park exist nearby so that you will plan to go with your family. One of the most boring time you will feel staying in haldia. Public transport from haldia is worst. Haldia has a local Railway station with only 1 platform. For major connectivity you have to travel either Mecheda, kharagpur or Howrah . You will get the job role which you were in 10 years back. All the automation are obsolete,no upgradation. People are lethargic to work in .Only their mouth works for job concern. People are more interested in low cost canteen food. Plant conditions are worsening day by day. Field operators don't open any valve without casual support. All SIC and SSM sleep early than others in night. All jobs are in the sake of request and thru contractual workers involvement. Don't utilise the talents in proper way. No mix work culture.Only Bengali >90%. For field operators job designations are Assistant with so many grades. Infrastructure wise not upgrading . Lot of safety concern exist in plant and accident prone work stations. Lot of leakages and clamping ,Lot of manual operations of instruments as those are not operable in auto/cascade. Heavy noise in plant due to leak. UG drain are clogged with heavier HC. No stencils on pipeline. Office staff will treat you as perv your designation. After few years you will feel like lagging behind in all aspects in comparison to your friends working in other organisation. Lot of internal office politics. No freedom at all. HR people are not employee friendly ,they are busy with their own hustle mussle.

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.
