Advice to Senior Management

get some young management team to work

Pros

L&T is a great place to learn, especially if its in the initial stages of your career. It being a large multinational there are loads of impressive project going on simultaneously and with the people there being very easy to approach, there is great opportunity to learn whats happening in the advancements of technology.

Cons

Very long work hours and very hectic work schedule; plus no appropriate compensation for the work. The work-money ratio is not properly balanced. I have heard many people who are on the lower levels of management complaining of the work hours and pay; with many other competitor companies paying nearly double of what L&T pays for nearly half of the work load. It seems to be a good place to just spend a few starting career years there.

Advice to Senior Management

There is lot of politics thats runs up in the higher management, and since L&T usually signs a 2 year contract and keep the employees bound for 2 years with a very low pay, it does not become a very appealing place to work. Removing the bond and a more impressive compensation would do a lot of good.

Pros

Great place for learning where one gets adequate opportunity to take initative in business matters and exposure to progressovely important projetcs.

Cons

Laterals are not given equal opportunity and are always side tracked in favor of career L&Tites. HR policies are poor.

Advice to Senior Management

My advice to the board is to be less greedy where each memeber gets more than 2 Million USD a year, while a rung below are at one tenth thar remuneration and junior and middle management barely scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

Pros

very good people unity while workin on job or solving problems
various types of ideas and innovation are shared by old employee

Cons

some people not doing work properly like not completing work in given time is not so good for company and mangement also.

Advice to Senior Management
