Pros

Pay well at the time of hiring Product quality is good Globally number one company (no 4 in India) Very transparent in customer accounting (sometime very liberal)

Cons

company has been not growing as per industry growth for last 2 years. continuously loosing market share across even in their high volume areas NO job security at all. One can be shown exit door at any point of time if results are not as per expectation for any smaller period even. Work culture is deteriorating Fire fighting approach in every work No ground level marketing job to create pull, only push sales Very hard follow up. Seniors sitting above are more busy only in counting numbers rather providing infra Systems and processes are highly volatile because of high attrition rate at higher level. Man driven company In decorative business, whole business is run by a single mind

Pros

Quite good job security, good employee benefit schemes. Acheivable bonus schemes.

Cons

Weak management, too much focus on the ever changing strategy, no chance of progression, staff leave but are never replaced, total lack of training and development for low level staff, too many layers of management, cost cutting is destroying staff morale, management never listen to employee concerns, too many unsuitable systems introduced in the guise of cost cutting, engagement survey a total waste of time and effort.
