It's changed - IT Support Novelis Employee Review

It is a good company

No cons except the location

The strongest part of Novelis is the people at the working level. There are a lot of smart, capable, and genuinely friendly employees across the business who are willing to collaborate and help each other succeed in a challenging environment. The company also offers a relatively flexible hybrid work policy compared to many industrial/manufacturing organizations, which helps with work-life balance. Benefits are generally competitive and above average for the industry.

The employee experience has become increasingly difficult due to constant reorganizations, unclear ownership structures, and growing pressure to deliver more work with fewer resources. High performers are often rewarded with additional responsibilities without meaningful increases in compensation, title progression, or organizational support. Many functions operate in a constant state of firefighting, with priorities regularly shifting based on operational issues or leadership changes. There is also a disconnect between leadership messaging and the day-to-day experience for employees. Collaboration and empowerment are emphasized, but decision-making often feels centralized and reactive. Career progression can feel inconsistent and heavily dependent on timing, politics, or leadership turnover rather than performance alone. Morale across the organization has suffered as workloads have increased while teams remain lean. Employees are frequently expected to absorb responsibilities outside of their original scope, and strategic or long-term thinking often takes a back seat to immediate operational pressures.
