Work life balance is good. U can get unlimited leaves if you are a permanent employee by fooling that you are WFH. This is what is going on in the company.

Dislikes

...have joined just since a month. That is what happened with 5 people in the team. They hired all of them at once in oct 2024 and fired them even before receiving the first salary. So if you currently have a permanent job then dont join whirlpool even if they offer you 50 or 80 percent hike, bcz they will fire you in just 3 months. This is a very serious thing going on in the company. They have fired 25 contracts employees in engineering team in Dec 24 by telling that they dont see any projection of projects. Also, they will not treat you with respect if you are a contract employee. You will never be absorbed by them in whirlpool bcz they dont even see whether the employee is actually skilled and can do work efficiently. So, this company is a huge red flag if you are joining as a contract employee.

...it is worst decision. They fire contractor like hell any time even within month. It's better to go other company in less package instead of whirlpool.. even for on roll position your increment and promotion is also depend on politics.

Job security is very good. Even if projects are not there you are moved to other departments and not layed off. Diversification in multiple products helps here. Work culture is great. HRs are very friendly. Managers are also good. New gen of mangers are very good and helps you to understand and develop. Management overall is good. They eye for future prospects, growth and innovation. Company policies are good. Flexible work time. WFH option is also there. Travel options are lot. Learning is very good. You get to learn end to end product development with core engineering skills.

Dislikes

Career growth is a bit slow. Salary is not that competitive. T-gang dominates leadership position and nurtures and supports only their people. This is changing but it is very slow.

Very less skilled ppls in EES VnV, All are working like labours and busy in show-off, and there managers are also excepting same, Company HR policies are very good. Suggestions: EES team need to improve more and transfer shilpi and ashish from this department then team will be Shine like star🌟.They are spoiling company name for their self benifits. Prons: India VP and HR head are very professional.

Job security was not a concern with Whirlpool until March where layoffs were announced globally; salary was on the lower side but pressure wasn't unmanageable until 6 months ago when management changes happened

Dislikes

Culture is a hit or a miss depending on the manager in charge; micromanagement is the name of the game; no succession plan for new hires; appraisal is subpar by industry standards; lack of support from corporate HR in any concerns raised; even one day leaves get rejected at the whims and fancy of the manager in charge
