Dislikes

I'm with the editorial team and work culture is terrible. You can get away with less work, leaves, win accolades if you're a good boot licker. Salaries are depressed like usual (media industry). Fancy designations will not assure you of a respectable salary. There is absolutely nothing called a bonus. A Diwali bonus is given after completion of a year which is 650 rupees and that's all you will get in the year. Only good thing about the Financial express (Indian Express Group) is that you get sat and Sunday off which is really good as not all journalists get their weekends off. Increments are extremely poor. People get 1000-1500 rupees hike if they perform well. Very good performers get around 3000 rupees. I worked for FE and the management is pathetic. It is there resolution to not let juniors grow because you might outshine anyone, so that opportunity will not be given. Once big fat crocodiles occupy a chair, it's too precious to let go. So the best they will do is stunt your growth....Read More

Work Details

The most boring place. No team outings, no free food, no work from home, a lousy cafeteria, no transport or reimbursement, and nothing called international relocation.

Work days: Monday to Friday (Strict Timings)

Got Rejected In an Interview, Just Because I Didn’t Answer a Personal Question

So, I got invited for this interview, and they told me to be there at 9 AM. Of course, I get there early, like 8:30, because I don't want to be late. But then I end up waiting for 1.5 hours. Seriously, they didn't even acknowledge me until 10. Then this HR lady calls me in, and she's totally unprofessional. She's like, on her phone, making personal calls while I'm sitting right there. And then she starts asking me these really weird questions, like what my nickname is, and what my dad does for a living. It got really uncomfortable when she started pressing for details about where my dad works. I mean, what does that have to do with anything? So I politely told her I didn't want to answer, and she actually said, "Then we can't continue this interview." I was honestly shocked. But instead of arguing, I just stood up and said, “Alright then.” And walked out. I left feeling pissed. Not only did they waste an hour of my time, but the HR rep was also rude and unprofessional..
