Pros
Opportunities for visit to Switzerland / Liechtenstein Head office has good work culture (great to interact with European counterparts 9 times out of 10) Structure / Process oriented company - you will learn a thing or two about process management systems, documentation, fmea, etc.
Cons
Oh, where to even start. Okay. Lets try. Just as awesome the Europe office is to work in, the Indian office is even worse to work in. Company culture in India is totally disconnected from the west. Let me give you my observations working 3 years here. 1. Main boss totally unreasonable. He doesn't listen to inputs from anyone, let alone learn from younger blood things like technology and IT. He basically is scared to go against higher management (although they encourage it) and keeps pupping up to them at the cost of his employees. He does not act like he says. For example, when he came in, he said "I believe in open office, I have no ego if you take away my office". And yet, even when they are constructing a new plant, and the current plant has less than 1 year operationally left, he forces process engineering team to build a new office for him at 6lakh+ cost just to use as his personal room (mind you, it was bigger than before). Lean talks about manpower stability and yet him and his personal assistant of an HR head have basically destabilized by firing indiscriminately operators who had given 20+ years of faithful, reliable, dedicated service to the company and replacing them with temporary NEEM trainees who have no attachment to the company. But he doesn't care because he can always push buttons (called KPIs / targets) and make his people run around sleepless to deliver the production numbers. Not only that, he has fired people with 1 month service remaining before retirement (30+ years of service to the company) just to make a statement of awe and shock. He has fired graduate engineering trainees after their 6 months probation, after making them relocate to a remote area that Navsari is.
