The business leaders and the people I work with are supportive and friendly. Flexible working plays a key role in achieving work-life balance.

Ankeeta Banerjee- System Specialist – Smart Factory Platform
Testimonial from Ankeeta: I've been in the core technology world for more than 10 years of my career life, focusing on Industrial Automation & Control since the beginning. I've really worked hard on my early career years with excessive site travel and sometimes the sites/factories were too harsh for a woman to survive 8-10 hours every day where basic amenities were missing. Throughout my experience, being consistent was my greatest strength that often comes up as a key to doing well, and being successful in your roles and responsibilities.
After getting the opportunity as an Industry 4.0 specialist at Saint-Gobain, I was quite excited to move towards this role and to utilize my experience and leadership qualities to the best possible way. This is one of the best decision of my life to join this esteemed organization. The HR team and the business leaders have always been very supportive in every aspect till date, especially with my smooth on-boarding, providing friendly workplace and hassle-free relocation to Bangalore. My manager always motivates me with new challenges and provides the best opportunities to work on the diverse projects.
Last, but not the least, our SAINT-GOBAIN continuously thrives to embrace new initiatives to help the employees to grow in their field and promotes equal opportunity irrespective of gender, race, caste or religion.

Testimonial from Vennila: When I decided to restart my career with Saint-Gobain after a break of 2.5 years, I experienced a bundle of mixed emotions.

I was welcomed by the management with a caring heart and an open mind. The HR team and the business leaders have been very supportive in my transition back into a full time career. The organization is highly inclined towards creating an inclusive and fair working environment for all.
