Some of the facilities like transportation and free meals are good. The work pressure is less than that what seems to be in Big 4's. Also, its not that difficult to get leaves around here.

...ees also, there is Company Trainee, Management Trainee, Apprentice Trainee, etc. Everyone knows everyone's salary. The conversion ratio from Trainee to Permanent employee will be under 20% and it is clearly not based on your performance, rather vacancy. Varied levels of respect will be given to different trainees with some (Apprentices) will be treated no more as peons/clerks/labor. The systems and processes are outdated. There are piles of papers around in the Finance dept. Even the HR onboarding form is based on Excel and there is no central portal or anything like that. Tech-wise, the company is running 20 years behind, maybe more. So a lot of issues which the tech could have solved, you'll be doing this around manually. And I'm not even talking about AI/ML or other fancy stuffs. The team members will support you if you are a permanent employee and if you are a trainee, well then you'll be here for a maximum of 2 years- first tenure of 1 year which is then extended for another year, based on requirement. After that, if there is no vacancy, well then you'll be asked to pack your bags. In my 8-10 months of stay here, I've seen more than 15 trainees asked to leave after a period of 2 years (whose tenure were completed during this time) and 3 were converted to full-time employees. There is very limited scope of skill development from Finance point of view (not sure about Engineering section) but since this is just an Assembly plant and not a manufacturing one, the scope could be limited there as well. Also, the diversity, especially region-wise is quite restricted with predominantly people from in and around Pune (if you are from Pune, your chances of selection will increase significantly). I think more than 80% of the workforce will be from Pune. This also leads to development of certain biasness towards people outside of Maharashtra. (Now this is only true for my team and I cannot say the same for other teams) The office is located around 50 km from the city and at least 20km from the nearest livable (decent) place so you'll be spending at least 1.5 hour on traveling.

...ram Managers". Deputy General Managers are excellent though with good knowledge. Salary growth is below market average by atleast 3 years. Knowledge gain in this company for 10 years is equivalent to 2 years working in a good organisation.
