Pros

Good compensation and growth. Good brand to have on your resume, that's about it.

Cons

No work-life Balance. Management consists of people who are so full of themselves. Diversity is hidden reservation. Performers don't get appreciated but boot lickers do. It's a Lala Shop, Dont get flattered by posts on LinkedIn by employee's cz it's all fake. Everyone for some reason is focussing on self branding. There is no life when u are in Schindler. Travel policy is sick..HR says openly that if we exceed 3000 Rs per month ull have to pay from pocket. You must be kidding right...That's how sick it is. Don't go on salary in offer letter.

Pros

120 Hours of PTO per year is nice, *if* you get hired on completely. Working with people of different ethnicity is nice.

Cons

These people LOVE their temp workers and will keep you that way as long as possible. No bonuses, no PTO/Sick time, no benefits. You can be strung along for up up to 3 years before being hired on. Benefits are lackluster at best. Dental especially is a joke. You will NOT get promoted. Lateral movement at best, and if you like stress you can become a team lead/supervisor. Management feels completely disconnected, focused more on their spreadsheets than boots-on-the-ground input from factory workers. Communication between departments and levels of management is almost nonexistent. Yearly bonuses are unfairly weighted to favor upper management with unrealistic expectations for participation. * Overtime/Weekend work not required but an unwritten expectation that WILL negatively impact your reviews and bonus Abysmal raise rates. So many work stoppages due to terrible supplier relationships Major holidays extended, use PTO to fill time or go unpaid. (No help for temps) Things are such a frantic unorganized mess that you can never tell if you are understaffed or overloaded with work volume. Management engagement with employees feels like required lip service more than genuine interest. HR is virtually useless and will defer work back onto the employees Point system for attendance is weighted to pressure employees to be at work even if its dangerous. Staying anonymous because there will be a talking to in the office otherwise. Feeling completely undervalued/replaceable/disrespected.
