The Hindu Group "Learning" Reviews

Only the age old name and the legacy it carries.

Dislikes

1. Work- life balance is a big negative. It will run one mad as there is too much pressure and one cannot take their legitimate earned holidays due to everyday work pressure. Higher management thinks us to be machines and will force you to do three persons work with the same salary. 2. Salary is not at all good compared to the indust ry standards. There are some fossils and clowns in the company who runs the show by sucking to higher management. All benefits are stopped except one small medical insurance policy. Editorial is exception as they are worshipped in our organization. 3. Appraisal is a stereotype process in the organization done by HR department every year with no outcome. Promotions are rare as a White Elephant in The Hindu Group which may occur at an interval of every 4 to 5 years if you are lucky with an optional(depends upon super boss) salary hike of 5% to 10% max. Here also editorial is exception. 4. Day by day job security is also an issue in this company with many levels of lay offs over the years. 5<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. There is little scope for skill development and opportunity for learning and is rarely encouraged by higher management</mark>. 6. Due to the above points work satisfaction is also affected and is low. 7. Company culture is orthodox but there are few people who terrorize the whole system by sacking people from there job. 8. People who are working in the organization should be given priority in terms of promotion and salary hike. Instead worthless and lazy people are taken from outside with higher salary which breaks the moral of the existing loyal employees. One trick I have noticed that if people threatens to leave or joins the company again are given higher salary and designation....Read More

I've worked at The Hindu as an intern in the editorial department. It was for a duration of one month. The place and the people were very supportive and helpful. The chief editor and others helped us in learning more about news writing, reporting, etc. All the senior staffs were friendl y and approachable. Also, they gave chances to attend press conferences, phone interviews, and more. I got to be a part of the practical side of everything I have learned from my classroom. The one month was very fruitful and it is helping me in building my career as a journalist....Read More
