Sodexo Reviews

Likes

Co. is very good in terms of moderate growth of lower level, grievances for down liners and on time salary shed out. Good training processes for Lover level staff but can be improved further. Good policies but no implementations...

Dislikes

Co. is very good but there is no growth(Even you acquire and fulfil all desired criteria by Sodexo) , no transfers internationally where we can learn and grow our skills on Global platform. Lots pf Politics in Indian Setup especially at Top Management where they want their own team, even if they have get someone resigned from current experienced lot, irrelevant whether new person on board is from same field and have proper skills and knowledge. Seniors push you to mentally to extremes deliberately just to want to make you leave the Co. or current profile very poor and sad setup, wanted to continue for longer years but was again forced to leave as I did not bowed down for their vested interests and today they call and regret on their decisions...of asking us to discontinue. No proper salary increments, hikes are only for those who are hired externally with out any knowledge of business and are made to hired on top brass positions, N - no of examples can be seen in Indian Management....

I started my work with Exxonmobil Project in begining was so upsetting feel but later on i enjoyed working there,learnt safety at best(can challenge any top level HSE Manager...lolz) though i am not NEBOSH Certified,it was a great learning period for me.

Likes

The company is open to innovation and readily adopts latest technology and also a Client based company. If we face problem working for a particular site, then we can go to different site if available. Plus point is that my colleagues come from various cultural backgrounds and we work happily in collaboration. I also like the employee re-hire policy here.

Dislikes

We do not like or dislike our company, we like or dislike the people who are working about means our managers or supportive staff. Compensation is decent but growth is slow and pressure is high. Managers do not appraise and value an individuals unique strength which is why I have to take back my suggestions most f the times. I do receive appreciation emails from Clients, but they go unnoticed and there is no job training for freshers, hence senior folks like me have to guide them step by step which is a pain sometimes.

Work

General speaking, my work is slightly challenging as I have to look after every Administrative work and facility management taking from Housekeeping to BMS operation. Also have to take care of every Clients arrangements and operations. Emails, stock etc.

Likes

The Company is pioneer in Facility management and makes an employee feel having a secure job.It also give oppurtunities to travel abroad.But poor communication from Operations manager will force you to miss such oppurtunities.The site Manager and teammates are good people.

Dislikes

The site Managers make steps for appraisal. But The Operations Manager will not allow an employee to get increment and recruit a fresher and give more salary than an experienced employee.The company particularly Flextronics site Operations Managers will never allow experienced person to get increment .They will even hide whistle blower helpline no's ,email Id and individual personal login id in official website to raise complaints against them to Mumbai head office

April 2006 I was joined Sodexo, found some good team mate, seniors much more things learn from them.

Dislikes

Sodexo is the good facility management company but some of members in management team are taken down company reputation.I suggest to senior HR team or Management team above VP to take personally site servey and take site employee and site client feedback and take proper action on the poor management staff from the organisation. If Sodexo recruited good operation and management team in the organization I am Happy to work till the retirement.

Work

I almost spent 10 years in Sodexo Facility Management, I have started my career as Mailroom Executive after that got promotios Transport coordinator, Executive and last designation was Assistant Facility Manager.

Likes

The Sodexo Facilities where I was working was Very much comfortable place to work in terms of timings, week ofs, place to explore, all the cooperative staff, good pay package also.

Dislikes

The main issue was of leaves or holidays. As it was a FTC job so whenever we take leaves , our salaries will get deducted and that was little difficult to adjust. This site didn't have any training or development program for the staff where they can learn something new to go to the next level.

Work

My work was pretty awesome and very unique too. I was lucky enough to have that position for àlmost one and half year. I got a wonderful chance to work with international clients and it was so exciting for me.

Likes

Company Hr is not hired very skilled person on a level position like operation manager n Afm, they don't have knowledge about category of employees, they treat every person like office boy or housekeeping staff. Process is required implementation. Seniors staff required interference whenever they tack contract, they are only complete the target. Specially Mr. Nitin operation manager M.P.C.C. His behavior is not good and when I had faced accident on that time no one come for meet for health awareness after the inform to AFM on same time. So my experience with sodexo is very very bad.

Dislikes

Very bad experience.

The work life is hell... Sodexo squeezes the quality in you n pays you much below than your capabilities. Team mates and some people in Sodexo office also try and take advantage of your weaknesses and problems. Your job is never Guarenteed. One can't even lead a happy life ,working offshore or in remote sites in Sodexo ..

Dislikes

EVERYTHING AND AS WELL AS THE MANAGEMENT. EVEN THE PAY IS SO LESS, ONE CAN HARDLY LIVE UP TO HIS BASIC NEEDS AS A HUMAN

Work

Hectic with the smallest salary package in the country

Likes

Fantastic peers and team. Good exposure towards business and training to achieve goals. Challenging atmosphere to achieve goals. Growth based on performance. Salary could be based on band or grade. The pay structure is so weird that same job same designation & more or less same volume of business but significant difference in salaries. Work life balance is something appreciated because the culture is pressed from top down approach. Overall it was a tremendous exposure and would always recommend people.

Dislikes

Uneven pay structure

Work

As long as you are on top of your business and team is under control, every day is exciting.

Likes

Team mates are very talented and hard working.trainings are good to improve the employee talent.trainings help a employee in his career growth.salary pay for employees are good compared to other organizations. Work which agrees to do can improve the skill of a employee.salary paying to employee are very good. They pay on 1st of every month without any fai that makes employee happy to work more hard and they feel very secure.

Dislikes

Job security is worst case in Sodexo. They will not provide a secure job for an employee.politics play major role in Sodexo. A employee should do favour to his Superior other wise he has to loose his job and they may not get their providential fund and other benefits what ever they should get.
