Whirlpool Project Design Engineer salaries in India

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.

Dislikes

...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.

They are are doing salary cut 4% in covid time, EES leaders are not good. 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.

...ny's balance sheet and impact of one's role on the balance sheet (however minor it may be) is a great feeling 4) Compensation is decent (considering that it is in manufacturing sector ) 5) You get great products at a great discount and that too, without any limit on the number of products

Dislikes

1) Constant churn and layoffs - Lack of job security makes concentration on one's work a difficult task 2) Whirlpool Corporation's global HR policies are blatantly bypassed - one example is that employee's work timings are flexible as per the global policy, however, local HR tracks the timing of each employee and sends the sheet to the managers each month and employees who are not staying back post the office timings are called in on Saturdays. Another example is that employees who utilise their Earned Leaves are punished, the expectation is that employees have to apply for leaves but attend office without punching in. All employees are shown as having taken the mandated off days for record purpose only, whereas they have to come in to work and ensure that they have not marked their attendance. 3) Zero trainings over the past 6 years - If you are already skilled and trained, you can utilise those skills here, but forget learning and development 3) Work-life balance is a myth in many functions, some of the functions, especially manufacturing, are severely under-staffed and some are generously over-staffed 4) Life in functions other than Manufacturing is good - avoid a role in the manufacturing/operations umbrella (Including Supply Chain, Logistics, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Operations, Maintenance) 5) Absolute lack of cohesion between various functions means one is constantly on the run trying to undermine other functions and also defending one's own function against allegations by other functions - this time could be easily spent in doing something productive 6) There have been few instances where Safety has taken a back seat, giving priority to Cost over Employee Safety, this is not a norm, but has definitely happened
