Dislikes
Work-life balance is too bad. Company pushes so many targets and deadlines and never bothers of employee welfare. Hierarchy system is too bad in some departments, some senior management employees are useless, lack knowledge and wisdom, dont learn or solve any issues and expect lower employees to do all the job, inshort, technical managers behave like just HR managers and have zero technical knowledge . Only some seniors, not all, some work extremely hard and no comments on them. Heavy work is ok only if every saturday is a holiday. But only one 3rd saturday is a holiday and other saturdays are working days. Due to design of electronics for railways, over-night testing, field trails are inevitable which are horrible and employees spend so many sleepless nights and work in very harsh field environments. Canteen food is worst, doesnt provide other sources of food like fruits , drinks even for money. Complete drain of energy with hectic work is common. And one sunday holiday is useless, gies for resting alone.
