Not for young folks
Not for young folks
Good segment of industry to work for, or to start your career with.
Applied India is just a cost center, and not many interesting projects happen here. If you are a mechanical engineer, you will be working on dud stuff. You have zero to null chances of climbing the ladder, as mid-management people are already in positions of strength. Workplace harassment is common. AGMs and managers are very scared of new folks who can outperform them and will find every reason to hurt them. Any NCG (New College Graduates) who join here will leave within a span of two and a half years. They are from IIT and NITs and know it's stupid to continue here. Developing local leadership is a joke.
Invest some time in talent creation in India.
Don't kill young folks' ambitions.

The interview process was quick. Additionally, it seemed simpler than others, but the questions felt like they did a better job filtering to the core of someone's strengths and weaknesses.
