...nts, now they are forced for medicals from TMH which is below par at Jamshedpur. Joining at other locations except Jamshedpur is somewhat better in terms of benefits like salary, mediclaims etc.

... is the worst dept out of all in terms of career, benefits worklife balance etc. Huge salary variations among same designation was pathetic. It all depends on how HR fools you during interviews for least salary showing Tata brand. Tata brand is the biggest caveat which ppl fall for. Tata steel is best for GET, MT etc. DO NOT join as laterals later in life. You'll suffer like anything thats for sure.

Very horrible condition. people are leaving company due to poor basic pay and lack of pay revision in company from last 10 years. Huge income tax deducted. Officers are expected to do each work in fraction of second. No protection/union for officers exists Bosses (Head/Chief)are now behaving like they are owner of the company. HR is sleeping in isolation making policies. Slow recruitment. 100% culture change . Now it is no more best place to work. it is worst place to work.

Dislikes

Zero forum (closed by MD) to discuss officers benifits with top management poor salary. huge tax deduction. Tata culture gone.

The pay structure is still good for freshers and employee related benefits are good. However, i have worked only in Tata Steel and hence not aware about the benefits which other companies provide.

Dislikes

Growth opportunities are limited. Extreme bureaucracy and things move really slow.

Work life is balanced in this company

...ou will not be aware of that. Their attitude and ego is as high as IAS officers. They will add your bonus amount to CTC and provide your ctc structure in informal format and it will vary in your appointment letter so please do recheck and negotiate again
