Pros

Company maintains good work culture. Senior management is accessible and is open to feedback and ensures that most of our feedbacks are resolved quickly. I saw some negative reviews mostly from USA based junior production employees but we have not observed any such issues here in India. Coming to work, we work on global projects from our Pune office. We are given 2 screen desktops with all software like AutoCAD, Solid works, etc fully loaded. Work is scheduled via an internal tool called Q and ERP used is called made2manage. Very proud to state that most of the very beautiful projects on our website from all over the world were designed and engineered by us here in Pune. Company also has a manufacturing location nearby in Pune itself and occasionally we are required to help that facility too and it helps in getting to see manufacturing process first hand. Team mates are really nice and helpful. Company is growing fast.

Cons

Work timing extend sometimes depending on project delivery timelines and to coordinate with USA teams. Also there is no cafeteria at Magarpatta office (company however gives food card to compensate for this).

Pros

Steady hours, reasonable starting wages and benefits. Reasonable on the job training for inexperienced welders finishers and material handlers.

Cons

Toxic culture in upper management with a don't rock the boat mentality. Little to no upward mobility. Little emphasis on safety until someone is injured and they may be subject to liability. They will fire people for voicing legitimate safety concerns. Raises are nonnegotiable and would never exceed 2%.
