Pros

1. A carve-out company from Volvo Group India in 2021. So, a few good engineering, purchasing hands and brains are still left to steer the ship. 2. Structured processes for project planning and execution.

Cons

1. Remote / hybrid working model is not favoured by management. Management expects employees to work from office all the time. 2. Local leadership is clueless and definitely not transparent about company's future. 3. Career growth is limited to those few who have spent 15+ years at Volvo. Internal transfers are quite limited. 4. No forward thinking at any mid-senior management level in most functions 5. Slowly turning from process-oriented to few person driven company. 6. HR policies which were carried over from Volvo Group are selectively implemented based on recommendations by few yes-men sitting at the top. Good, employee friendly policies available at Volvo group are not taken forward. 7. No brand presence in India and no plans in the future to introduce UD products either. 8. Remuneration is below par market for similar roles in similar industries. 9. Training to up-skill employees as per changing market conditions is non-existent.

Pros

Good office environment High performance PC and sub monitor Next to the factory so you can see the real products

Cons

Failed respect to diversity: In a meeting, they discuss a lot in Japanese and share just little and very brief of conclusion in English. My boss called colleagues in India in a bad manner when he was talking about them with other people. Violating legal rules: No over work time is counted even if it actually exsists untill your manager admits it. I have never seen it happened. I am required to modify my working hours records if they exceed the normal working hours per month. Unfriendly culture: some people ignore my greetings. A colleague called me fat. Some people tell lies to hide that they did not understand a topic. No responsibiltiy: I was forced to do a thing like I chose to do so but it was actually an order from my boss. Less techical: Sometimes technical decisions are made because they feel like it is a good idea. Not basing on numberical matters sometimes.
