Chennai (India)

Former Employee – worked at Ashok Leyland full-time for more than 10 years

ProsCompany has built a culture around which executives are put to perform at max potential
You will gain excellent exposure and experience
Atmosphere is free and fair -except in production.
If you perform you will get more work and more experience.

ConsAbsolutely impossible to grow -except you ener through GET.
There is some discrimination between some class of people on the lines of ---,---( less explained due to this info in public domain)
You will lose all the morality and motivation due to this.
In promotion performance comes last.
In my case i got continuous 3 superior increments still i was denied promotion.
Expect you to work like your own company.
They will take plenty of employee satisfaction surveys but rarely considered all the views
Top management will talk high actually they do less.

Advice to Senior ManagementDon't keep century old traditions
create a faith in employee that company cares.
Treat people evenly and don't discriminate.
trim down top layer and make the company lean
brutally remove top level non performers.
Treat people with dignity - Traveling allowance,hotel stay allowance etc.
Empower middle management with decision making authority -Top level only to check the objectives and goals not whether middle management takes right decision.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
