I have worked here for about 2.5 years in their design office at chennai. Infact I started my career with this company. For freshers L&T is the best company to work for. You’ll be handed over responsibilites immediately after the incubation period which spans from 6 months to 1 year.
Unlike other engineering organizations you’ll be involved in all activities simultaneously which improves confidence. The group in which I worked is the best to work in L&T chennai. Those who have worked in other groups might have a different openion. Actual working hours may be little longer than the officially declared working hours. But as you reach the manager level you will have the flexibilty about timings.
The thing which will irritate you is the beaurocracy practiced there. The thing which makes you bend your head will be the salary. But they have taken many measures to ensure that the salary is at par with the industry standards. It used to be higest paid organization once. Another plus point is that L&T has many very senior experianced loyal employees who has not worked anywhere else. Middle management is almost absent there. Apart from salary, other facilities are same that that of any government organization.
