From Reliable sources.
Atleast 3 companies in field of metro consultancy are now involved in unethical head hunting. I will not name them here, but a cautionary note to Metro Architects. Please check with existing employees of a company before you make a switch. It is a fact that 2 companies are either not paying agreed salary after joining or delaying the payments by months altogether. They promise through their HR people and normally have on their targets candidates with good credentials. These companies are using the CVs to capture projects in times of high competition and once they secure the project then they indulge in lowly tactics.
My advise is that if you work for a company which has a name and good reputation, staff are treated well and the company has shown consistent growth, please dont leave it only for money sake. Workplace satisfaction is more important. Also avoid companies which hire new people at higher rate but do not promote or elevate older staff.
As metro consultancy is now project based, the hiring is done keeping in mind the fixed tenures of employees.
I get a lot if requests from young Architects, who are already working for some good firms but want to leave just because of money.
If a company has spent time and money in your trainings and case study visits, the company is serious about you. Your promotion will depend upon your performance.
It is better to stay with a consistent and growing company rather than falling prey to disreputed firms.
These 3 culprit companies are sadly of Indian ownership.
