Pros

Pros: 1. Vast amount of information and knowledge available 2. Very good infrastructure and office environment compared to other engineering companies 3. Opportunities galore if you and your boss, both are from same region, i.e. Bengali Boss-- Bengali employee, you are at right place! 4. Very ethical about business practices, very very high on integrity among management.

Cons

Alstom India, one distinguished question strikes to ones mind that this particular entity is existing in India since last 100 years (Recently they celebrated their 100th year in India!), with similar workforce in Delhi area. Every time their leaders come from International offices have one promise for sure, we are expanding in India and we have big plans for India, but unfortunately they just want to exist in India to bid for projects and carry their all operations from abroad, because ALSTOM India has failed to build the trust for carrying out engineering projects alone. Bigger cons are: 1. No matter how much skilled you are, you may fall in a big and endless tunnel of too much technicality with no appreciation and growth path. 2. Not a good company for career starters, good for those who want to do an MBA. 3. If you don't have a godfather make one asap after landing.

Pros

The grid is being controlled by software which opens new opportunities for software professionals.

Cons

It is a conglomerate, and is a company loosely made of many companies.
