The primary reason is job security, then comes work-life balance. There's a fixed work timing which most people follows. Work pressure is also manageable.

Dislikes

Transfer policy needs to be flexible. Work environment also needs to be looked at. 5-day working policy should be implemented.

Company culture, there is no set criterias for work, specialisation doesn't matter, new ideas will not be entertained. Of course, lot of politics being a PSB. It's bank and not an company. Growth is almost zero. Luck require to get a decent project which has good growth but 1 out of 50 will get this chance. No satisfaction and no standards for work. No flexibility in work timings. Non technical people leading projects that's the worse. Department change every five years and the new assigned work need not to be the same as previous, itay totally different, like Java developer to application support!...Read More
