Learning has no limit at IGPL. If you really want to be the key person on technical aspect, this is the one company which will provide you the ultimate scope for learning engineering. Very good for beginners.

Dislikes
Salary package could be better. There is no 9-5 work culture. You may have to work beyond that too. Working with Union people is a challenge

Lots of thing to learn. This company literally has each and every huge instrument/machine/vessel a mechanical engineer need to gains its knowledge for future growth. Nice food and travel facilities. Company is best for desk job.

Dislikes
...ways want you to forget about home and work for 12-15hrs with only single OT. The worst part is OT for engineers they only pay you single OT depending upon your basic salary which is definitely very much low.
