I was working in Indian Army for the last 31 years (which is part of Ministry of Defence ) years in one of the best armies of the world where I learnt to be an accomplished and focussed professional with rich and extensive experience in administration,leadership,security,logistics,training and personnel management and retired in the rank of Colonel.During my service I travelled all over the country This is very fine organisation where I fine tuned my skills, I met people from all walks of life during service and learnt a lot...Read More

In my opinion it is the best possible profession for a job seeker. There can not be any better organisation which can give you satisfaction in all walks of life. It gives ample opportunities to hard working and innovative thinkers. It teaches one the best possible lessons on HR and Management. In Army you get an opportunity to be a leader, a teacher, a pupil, a student, a mentor, a socialist, a welfare officer, an advocate, a judge. I would say you name a trade and Army provides one an opportunity to work in it. The best part is you come across people from all possible corners of the country and all possible cultures. The experience one gains out of this needs no explanation. Army also provides enough opportunities to travel and work abroad, exposes one to latest technologies, adventure, managing disasters etc. To sum up I can only say given another opportunity I will again join Army and would like to serve till my last breath....Read More
Compensation though is decent but in comparison to bureaucrats it is quite less. Biggest problem is slower promotions and stagnation. The systematic downgrading of status of defense forces is also demoralizing
The work has been both challenging, dangerous as well as interesting

Firstly, let me clarify, I am not referring to MoD but Services i.e. Army. MoD is as lousy, if not worse, than any other Ministry. The netas & bureaucrats nexus has taken it upon themselves to belittle and destroy the finest institutions in the country. Less said the better.
Everything pertaining to MoD is lousy and that to Services is top class.
Defend the country from external and internal threats and take on any task which other civilian agencies are incapable of.

Indian Army by profession is an life style. One who realises it earliest and fastest, should join it or will forever remain disgruntled which is very infectious and most undesirable, as this profession remains very very demanding.
Nothing in specific

The job is well secured and you have a set pattern of work culture. Very competitive. Excellent man management and we'll laid down policy exists here. Appraisal are excellent. There are always chances of growth. Overall an excellent Job place with adequate time space.n
Sometimes policies are rigid & there less space given to the juniors in management sphere. Career growth slow with pyramadic shaped promotion policies.
Job has been with full of adventure. New experience on each day.

I don't actually work at the Ministry of Defence—I'm here to provide information, answer questions, and help with creative ideas. But if you're curious, people who work there might appreciate the purpose-driven mission, unique challenges, and sense of service to the country. The Ministry offers opportunities to work on significant projects in national security, collaborate with skilled professionals, and develop diverse technical and leadership skills. If you're interested in learning more about specific roles or opportunities, I can help with that too!...Read More
Since I don’t actually work at the Ministry of Defence, I don't have personal experiences to share. However, people working there might face some common challenges, like strict protocols and security clearances, which can limit flexibility and sometimes slow down processes. Roles in defense also often come with high levels of responsibility, and some might find the long hours or high-stakes nature of the work to be demanding. Additionally, depending on the position, there can be restrictions on work-life balance and the ability to discuss job details with others due to confidentiality requirements....Read More
