Great Place for laggards

Pros

- Good place to retire unless you have misgivings about you retiring as a senior management guy. That ain't happen at NV. - Good place for people who enjoy a lack luster career at the cost of the freebies thrown. - Good place for those who enjoy organizational politics - If you are looking for utopia then it is NV- be sure that you are subdued,submissive to your manager and kill your ideas and ideologies. If you are willing to forget and forgive your team not being properly compensated and rewarded and collude with your manager then this is the best place for a personal growth.

Cons

-Bad place to work if you go by the rule book of NV core value of "Intellectually Honesty". You will be shot pretty soon straight in the temple - Bad place if you don't like local politics with a compounded situation of senior management overseas behaving like "an ostrich with its head in the sand". -Lack of direction and focus on the road map ( they do know the road, it is just that they are finding it difficult to figure the way to the destination)

Pros

Well structured development process Good physical infrastructure that resembles a star hotel Remotely located to focus on work Inspiring CEO

Cons

- Site is Lead by Joker that makes no sense when he talks (or shakes) - No appreciation for Job well done - Politics played by Senior Management - No Honesty in the "Intellectually Honest" tag line - Force India emps to be non-performers to fit the bell curve - Local management is not empowered Absolute no planning of work, day-to-day assignment, at most weekly, absolutely direction less. CEO has 4 years direction, emps have 8 hours direction. Exec staff, senior management has NO CLUE. Its always "I want you to do this, but again i might be wrong" by senior mgmt. Reviews are PCCed - Productivity, Capability, Culture. One Director says P = C+C, other says only 1 point increment every year. After PCC, every emp is ranked. How can you rank 5000 emps? most of india staff is ranked low. If you walk-on-water, you are rewarded with 1 point UP and paid to market. If you do your job well you are paid 60% of what market pays. Every year 5% attrition is forced in this way to bring new and cheap labor. Entire management including HR knows about incapable senior executives, but no action is taken since they are close to CEO, but emps are regularly pushed out in the name of PIP (performance improvement plan). Why this is not done for exec and senior management? Site leadership is a joke. leader is joker. Crystal clear communication (written and verbal) by CEO is also mis-interpreted and communicated. US centric, absolutely insensitive to local timings, meetings end by 2300hrs and start early!
