PGIMER Senior Demonstrator Chandigarh Reviews

Likes

It was close to commute to. That was the only thing that I liked about PGIMER. Second thing that was likeable was the freedom to take holidays since the boss itself was not punctual at all. The boss would seldom question a one-day leave. But boss was quite generous with taking leaves.

Dislikes

Almost everything that can be listed. I enrolled in this institute thinking that it is run by geniuses who would be promoting genuine research. But the main flaw in the entireness of this thought is that you have to abide by your boss even if he/she is full of nonsense or illogical talk. I would be listing some of them down: 1) Boss won't value your ideas, hence no chance for growth or skill development. 2) No carrier growth in terms of research; forget about appraisals. 2) Boss would dictate or rather ruin your work-life balance in exchange of getting higher dividends (salary). Kindly don't fall for that trap. 3) Boss had no reliable political connections; tries to subjugate/pressurizes other faculty members to include their name in whatever research projects or ideas they have. 5) Boss would arrive to the department late by 1 pm almost everyday and waste most of her time gossiping. Bearing the brunt of sudden and surprising mood-swings of the boss. 7) You will have to prepare presentations for your boss for topics that you are not at all familiar with. 8) Not just that, the call for preparation will come at the eleventh hour (last moments) or even sometimes on the day itself when presentation is to be delivered. 9) Boss tried to promote more women at work even if they weren't skilled enough. She would even oversee all of their mistakes and would let them have a go by themselves before the technicians or attendants started working properly. 10) Office politics is off the charts, especially when women are in charge. Boss was biased towards some of his/her workers; protecting them; overseeing their follies; and, putting them ahead on some of good workers. The boss doesn't rely on her own instincts, rather, would listen to his/her most trusted workers and even believe their crafty nonsense....Read More
