Indian Railways is a great organization. It is the richest, oldest & 2nd largest organization in the country. Biggest provider of employment to the citizens of the country. It is the organization that nurtures the human potential in a dramatic manner, but for those who are dedicated for it. Railways can't be imagined without technology. May it be the track, signalling system, coaches & wagons, locomotives or operational system, technology is everywhere. As such, keeping the entire workforce updated with the latest technologies, policies, gadgets & appliances is one of the vital needs of the organization, for which it has set up more than 350 well-maintained Training Establishments across the country. Work-Life balance depends upon the individual employee how well s/he is capable to maintain. Salary is excellent. Growth is fast. Job security is wonderful except in cases of fraud / malpractices in which there is no excuse and the only punishment recommended for such nuisance is 'Removal from services'. Public servants are expected to be the most responsive, polite and polished citizens of the country. Railways reflects a good gesture of professionalism to the public....Read More

Dislikes
Being a very large and complex organization, sometimes, most sincere and dedicated employees remain out of sight of the higher management. Their noble contributions and sacrifices, in terms of meritorious services and countless sleepless nights of hard work remain unrecognized. Still, they feel proud of doing something for their beloved nation.
Work Details
I was in locomotive operation department which keeps on functioning round the clock, 24 X 7 days. Challenges that I was supposed to handle efficiently were safety, security and punctuality of the running trains, particularly passenger-carrying trains.

One of the corrupt organisation in history of india. It looted common people and salary gives to the officers only who are posted junior there benefits go on vein.
Dislikes
There is many dislikes that one to say about here is staff working as bonded labours. No holiday no rest you have work in shift wise, officers have rest holiday they have all right to take leave and roaming one country to another country . hierarchical in commercial department makes its a corrupt department on Indian railways. Every step you find a seniors who are not listening it's employees welfare seniors know how to snub these employees.
Here compassionate ground recruitment is more prevalent than meritocracy recruitment. Everyway it's snubs meritorious staff and made him dependent on railways job he have no way to leave it.
Juniors are getting very low as officers got 5 to 20 fold salary of juniors but there work is very poor even cbs, CMI/CCI even write a letter to officers just copy it forward it the officers.
Seniors only know how to exploit this junior employee by not giving proper rest leave holiday leave etc...Read More

Only good thing is that it's a government job. That's it. Rest is worst. Don't come do a private job. After NPS it doesn't even have free pension.

Dislikes
No personal time. Leave don't get approved. Posting is so remote that you won't a soul to talk to. Just avoid it. It's pathetic job with zero future. This job experience won't get you anywhere.

The behaviour of Punjab ticket collector is very rude, they physically abused to the passenger and had no petition on the person if someone has their tickets but by mistake he is in wrong cabin, so no guidance and put the huge charges on the passenger, once a time infront of my eyes one punjabi ticket collector slapped the passenger this is so rude behaviour i have ever seen.
