Horrible Toxic Culture if you do not speak Tamil

Pros

Nice office, stable performing company

Cons

The culture in some teams in Vestas Chennai is very toxic. Some leaders create a very negative environment. They show regional and language favouritism, giving better treatment to people who speak Tamil or who are from the Danish headquarters. If you do not speak the Tamil language, you are bullied, humiliated, harassed, intimidated and indirectly pressured to leave the organization. Such leaders dominate meetings, do not let others speak, do not listen to other people's perspectives/points of views, are way too outcome oriented without looking at context. They then provide false negative feedback to smear employees. In town halls, the same leaders talk a lot about inclusivity, diversity and psychological safety, but in reality none of this is practiced in real life. They only care about results, and keep bullying, humiliating, harassing and pressuring employees until their mental and physical health is severely impacted and they quit. These leaders are protected by the organization, getting new makeshift roles when they have barely anything meaningful to do after major restructuring or organizational changes. The HR team are of no help either. Instead of standing up for employees, they simply protect these leaders without properly investigating what has really happened. In some teams in Vestas Chennai office, the employees are used until they burn out and then they are discarded. The leaders in some teams also do not welcome the employees into the organization. They do not believe in providing structured onboarding or training for the first couple of weeks. They just overload tasks into the employee and overwhelm them within a couple of days of joining and set them up for failure without any structured onboarding.

Overall good, but pay and benefits are low

Pros

the company offers a lot of opportunities and connections. It is a good step stone and people are very nice, as are the offices and the equipment handed out.

Cons

The pay is not good. They do not increase your salary yearly and it is very tough to argue an increase. It is easier to switch to another department than to argue with your own manager. The bonus is usually not achieved, since the goals set by the management are unachievable. It was said that the last bonus was only achieved because management moved payments around to reach its goals. Generally, moral is low in the company.
