Pros

This review is for MIPL, Kharadi 1. Nice Office Location 2. Organisation Hierarchy : (This can be a pro for those who are good at boot licking) You can get promoted irrespective of your years of experience and skills - (Even more qualified person is reporting to less qualified)

Cons

1. Vendor teams(CGI/CG) are driving Michelin employees even at Senior Level. Hence more opportunities to vendor team than Michelin employees. 2. Worst response from higher management in COVID pandemic - they started calling employees in middle of pandemic in Jun/July but allowed Vendors to continue WFH. - Forced unpaid leaves in month of June and July 3. Out dated tools and technologies ( Don't get fooled by niche technologies mentioned in JD). They are not at all leveraging Cloud/Big Data practices even in core Data team. 4. HR policies are not even well documented and employee friendly. ( I haven't noticed such gap in my previous experience) 5. HRs are from manufacturing industry background - they don't understand WFH concept at all 6. Most of the positive reviews are from HR team or their puppets 7. Appraisal Cycle is Jan - December but effective is from June. Same with variable, paid in June salary. ( You can think of loss of minimum 6 months of variable pay even you leave at any time) 8. Mandatory salary deduction for subsidised food - ( Make a note it's mandatory deduction even if you prefer not to eat canteen food)
