Research Associate Salary in Bhopal

Likes

First of all, the company provided a scope for me since I've employed as a fresher and provided a good learning curve on basics of research methodologies and report structure. It provided good rewards and bonuses in the 1st year and was in a competitive atmosphere. The 1st year was peaceful with a good work-life balance, but 2024 turn out to be a 'CURSE'. Idk what made them so ridicule to engage us into working on weekends. Production messed up, sales dwindled, poor growth and lack of coordination. I can't say its a messed up organisation but with zigzag routines, improper HR policies, sick leadership from Manager and TL's, this organisation will collapse within a short frame.

Dislikes

Overworking Hours (14-16) Less pay structure No Hike, No Appraisal (4-6%) Dominating Team Leads and Bosses Copy Paste work Lame ME's You are not going to do any justice by doing layoffs without proper notice. BEWARE OF KARMA!! Good luck to HR Head and Domain Heads and TL's.

As per my experience with APL, it provide good salary and maintained standard at work area. Specially during corona wave, company provide free vaccination and special allowances. i would like to work in APL if i got an opportunity. But skill development/ learning programs not conducting manufacturing site due to work load. Alart from that APL is good platform for pharma employees. I love APL.

Dislikes

1. Delayed Salary Increments: The process of salary increments is often delayed, which impacts motivation and financial planning. 2. High Salary Deductions: The deductions, particularly compared to other companies in the industry, are noticeably higher. For instance, the medical insurance deduction of ₹2.4k per month is quite steep. 3. Extended Working Hours: While the official working hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, in reality, employees are expected to work from 8:10 AM until around 9:00 PM on most days, leading to a poor work-life balance. 4. Unsatisfactory Canteen Food: The quality of the food provided in the canteen leaves much to be desired, contributing to an overall negative daily experience. Uncomfortable workspace

Company not care about their employee now a day, giving very less anual bonus which is around 4% and even promotional increment is also 10%, once you on bench and decline more than three project offer due to night shift or due to location you will get hr show cause mail which may terminate if not provide proper justification, also they did not compensate me for relocation for the project.
