Pros
Learning organization - provides opportunities to learn and develop in a secure environment Good medical benefits policy for spouse and parents Decent salary and emoluments, not special but good
Cons
Slow, dull and not dynamic at all No policy for internal career planning and growth of employees Middle management is very poor and self centered - mostly filled with yes men. Differing opinions are subdued and creativity stifled Departmental chiefs treat them as their personal fiefdoms, hardly any inter-departmental co-ordination, more time is spent on blame-shifting and saving their own skin then actually getting some work done Semi-governmental approach - pseudo meritocracy is practised in the name of internal interviews for promotions etc which is a sham and the annual appraisal system sucks big time. The salary increment for a promotion from IL5 to IL4 after 4-5 years of labour works out to a measly 5-6k a month, or rs 50-60k annually..even lower if you consider it post tax....!! there is no incentive for real talent and ambitious people to stay for the long term unless they have some family or medical issues for which the organization is great
