Company's policy for employees' care. Overall work culture is very good. It will inculcate a sense of pride while working at BCCL.
Dislikes
Promotions and compensation. There is so much disparity in compensation. for the same work profile some is getting x amount and someone is else is getting 4x amount. Lots of preferential treatment in fixing compensation and promotions. You have to be someone's (the one who matters) favorite, otherwise you will be stagnant. The work pressure is also very-very high.

Times Group is most ruthless in its approach towards business. They firmly believe in quantity over quality and run the operations in that manner. If you are looking for a satisfying journalism career, please don't think of applying here (at least in the magazine division Worldwide Media) They have been unscrupulous, indifferent anddisplaying utmost apathy towards employees especially during the COVID-19 crisis....Read More

Colleagues are helpful. Hiring managers are good. Facilities are good. Average salary hike.

Bureaucratuc structure. Huge work pressure. No skill enhancement program for vernaculars. Induction programme is futile because nobody seems to be interested in knowing the mission and vision of the organisation.

Very bad experience. Mr. Amal Sarkar Bureau Chief is not giving any space to work. Always want favour from me. But I want to work. Not to favour anyone. Always work hard. But he distort my work. Suppress all my special stories. With those ideas he helped other reporters to make story. Published them with their biline.

Good work life balance and opportunities to grow. Can get platform if you have skills and ability.
Dislikes
Appraisal and promotion is not based on performance. Its always like “my promotion is due”. Your salary, benefits, work profile, objective and related things purely depends on company owner and their thought process. If you are contributing more than the expected, beyond your capabilities, thn also you will not get anything because company don’t believe in retaining people but hiring people at higher salary thn yours....Read More

The company has a policy to harrass the employees, if you make smallest mistake the VP forces you to give a treat to the whole floor, it was such a situation where now whoever brought samosas to office everyone came to finance department to ask who made mistakes. It is humiliating to work here
