1) Low salary to the technical folks @ IT division 2) Hikes and Promotions are given to manager favorites, mostly to non technical folks who does coordination and catch/dispatch type of work. 3) People skilled with latest tech wont get chance to apply their skill sets and their skills just would sit in the form of certificates. The technical folks wouldn't be able to showcase any technical capabilities fully which was supposed to be gained out of experience working @ MBRDI, while they want to give interviews for a job change. either they have to upskill and just portray as if they have worked on the those technologies with their experience working @ MBRDI OR join as a fresher. This is the reality. 4) Managers make themselves sufficient time to improve upon their office politics skills. most of them are certified for the same. sense-less management. 5) The latest iphones COD, mercedes company cars, fuel allowance, phone bills etc are paid for level 5 and above management folks. The HRs didn't bother to cut down these expenses during pandemic situation, instead they decided not to roll out hikes for most of the technical folks citing pandemic situation as the reason. 6) Managers encourage unnecessary travel to their favorite employees (catch and dispatch guys) so that they can fill their pockets with per-diems. In most of the cases travel wouldn't be necessary, but still it is approved without any proper justification.

Food at MBRDI is good and quality is maintained well.

Dislikes

Salary is decent but career growth is very slow. No value to years of experience. Work culture is not so good, it's more of discouraging and zero value for individual perspective. Employees learning growth is very restricted and work is more tedious and continues repetitive. Do not expect any appreciations, it's more of complaints booth.

Dislikes

Corporate politics and top management will enjoy the luxury cars without improving the business. There is no vision and you always have to obey your boss. No Career development. HR claims that they will not cross skill people if any specific tool/technology becomes obsolete and people at mid management / senior level will face difficulty in finding another project and eventually they will ask you to leave. thirty politics on top of all these.

Being in Mercedes benz feels like working with a brand is always good you will see lot of good cars around you. Work like balance is amazing. Its a company one can retire with. Lot of lead opportunity you will get and to take responsibility for a product. Travelling to Germany if you are lucky.
