Salary is good as compared to job market.

Dislikes

Company is struggling financially. Not able to provide bank guarantee for EPC projects. No work as of now. Zero job security. Layoff culture is quite common so, think twice before joining.

From day 1 you are put into live project. whatever Learning was there for a GET, was on the job. everything else was against employee treating them as a commodity with no say of their own.

Dislikes

1. Salary (probably lowest in whole market). 2. Management policies treating employees as commodities. 3. Leaves were good on paper. You can't take leave voluntarily generally without telling"WHY". Most of the time, the weekends were not allowed. A Lead could take it as offence if one plans to go somewhere on weekend (generally on Friday eve 5PM, you are informed that you have to come on weekend. And that's not a request). 4. No GET development programs, not allowed to visit site/ FAT/ Vendor sites (Reasn- no money with firm & you have no experience) no perks- no transport, food etc.

First to start with if you don't know tamil..you are gone..in middle of client reviews suddenly the manager starts talking in tamil with the colleagues and clients were amused and only the manager gets benifitted..it's very tough to learn a new thing..in the name of deliverables you will be a machine working on one job as long as you are in a company..reporting manager gets all the credit what you did for the company.once the project gets finished the managemnt game starts in the name of cost cutting..sacking starts with non tamilians then managers and his close associates gets deputed to sharjah or someother site locations..one of the senior colleague in top management passed away due to heart attack due to the enormous pressure that he had faced when he worked with petrofac India..The chennai office is just like Ram Gopal Varma's AAG..just terrible

Dislikes

My department seniors are friendly. The company takes care of the travel and accomodation if they are sending you on duty.
