- No long term vision (Five years ago the vision was to cater to the new holding company and grow as leaders with both Lurgi and Air Liquide licenses. It changed, and the vision was to serve as the detail engineering centre. It changed and now the company has sold off most of its licenses and wants to subcontract most of the jobs)
-No projects worth mentioning (The company depended on spill-over work and failed to capture the Indian market. It no longer uses the "Lurgi" name and no one knows the company in India.)
-No retention of talent (Higher management was short sighted enough to allow a lot of knowledgeable and talented people to leave).
- Incompetent management (Most people in higher management positions aren't in those positions because they were the most apt. On the contrary, they rose to those positions through favoritism, manipulating the data to paint a rosy picture or they could say yes to everything the global centre wanted to hear. The result of which is that the management has random ideas which the implement with a vision of maybe a couple of years. Anyone can be anybody).
- No job roles (one day you are an engineer, the next day an expeditor, the next day site inspector, the next day an estimator. If you keep on saying yes you can rise to the leadership role one day and contribute to sinking the ship further)
- No job security (except for maybe those at the top of pyramid or those in admin, IT and other inconsequential departments)
- No business ethics (So almost a third of the workforce was retrenched in the first quarter of 2017 with no notice period. Post this the management announced there will be no such incident in future. However, the company has plans to downsize further in each coming quarters and the employees are clueless about it. The management can at least share the true intentions so that an employee can plan his future)
- Poorest of the poor compensation (the company has not given out any hikes in the past 2 years)
- Unrealistic targets
