Barring the editorial bosses, nothing in Deccan Chronicle is worth working for. Aditya Sinha, Sriram and Moses Kondetty were a delight to work with.

Skill development - Excellent
Work satisfaction - Excellent

Dislikes

But the disgruntled owners led by the Reddys and the management that includes the likes of PR appointed by the Court Mamata, the HR head Sai, the accounts head Krishnayya are not worth their salt. They intentionally delay the salaries of their employees for years. They fired people, who were asking for their salaries. They lie. They don't credit salaries on time. Not a place to work for.

No real problem with the colleague. The present Editor-in-Chief Ms A.T. Jayanthi is one of the finest professional to work with. She is perhaps the most misunderstood person. But one can learn lot from her vast experience and professionalism. Her predecessor Mr P.N V. Nair was also a very Editor to work with. The owner Mr T.Venkat Ram Reddy is also a fine individual except for his short tempered nature!...Read More
