Pros

Nothing to say good about Schindler India. I was an employee at Mumbai HO and my growth has been stopped when I joined this company.

Cons

India Specific: 1. Mental Harassment- Mental harassments and stress will be given by the bosses. And if you go the Management with your issue, no one will listen to you. 2. No credit of work- Bosses will make you do the work and take the credit of your work. You will not be knowing when and how your work has been presented (This is prevailing in all departments at all levels) 3. Salary slabs- At same level a person is earning 20 lakhs and 40 lakhs, you will get higher salary if you do everything as your boss say and keep them happy 4. Boss favourite over talent- Promotion of the employee is directly related to how much your boss favours you. If you are not your boss favorite or if you tell you boss she/he is wrong, then no promotion, no increment, no bonus. 5. Worst Working experience- This company is the worst in my opinion and I have worked with multiple MNCs, but this was the worst company to happen in my life 6 Leaders? What's that?- Self-proclaimed leader of the company is only focusing in building his personal brand on social media. Also, everyone in the top management will show that they are the leader, but they are the just bosses/ managers and they do not know what does leader mean.

Pros

120 Hours of PTO per year is nice, *if* you get hired on completely. Working with people of different ethnicity is nice.

Cons

These people LOVE their temp workers and will keep you that way as long as possible. No bonuses, no PTO/Sick time, no benefits. You can be strung along for up up to 3 years before being hired on. Benefits are lackluster at best. Dental especially is a joke. You will NOT get promoted. Lateral movement at best, and if you like stress you can become a team lead/supervisor. Management feels completely disconnected, focused more on their spreadsheets than boots-on-the-ground input from factory workers. Communication between departments and levels of management is almost nonexistent. Yearly bonuses are unfairly weighted to favor upper management with unrealistic expectations for participation. * Overtime/Weekend work not required but an unwritten expectation that WILL negatively impact your reviews and bonus Abysmal raise rates. So many work stoppages due to terrible supplier relationships Major holidays extended, use PTO to fill time or go unpaid. (No help for temps) Things are such a frantic unorganized mess that you can never tell if you are understaffed or overloaded with work volume. Management engagement with employees feels like required lip service more than genuine interest. HR is virtually useless and will defer work back onto the employees Point system for attendance is weighted to pressure employees to be at work even if its dangerous. Staying anonymous because there will be a talking to in the office otherwise. Feeling completely undervalued/replaceable/disrespected.
