The Hindu Group Chief Sub Editor Chennai Reviews

Likes

It is a good place to work. Most of the bosses are fine and you don’t feel like you are working under them, but with them. No unnecessary yelling, office politics etc. that we see in other media houses. That’s one reason you stay here.

Dislikes

Salary sucks. People with same skill sets and work profile have varied salaries. You may have a friend in the same field who started off with you, but has climbed up the ranks while you remained here. He may also join here as your senior. Promotions are scarce and may take 8 to 10 years. Some people get in 3 to four years, but that depends on who you are working with and how fond they are of you.

The best thing about this organisation is work-life balance. There is genuine consideration when there are health issues. Depending on the HOD, there is room for innovation to some extent. There is immense job security.

Dislikes

Appraisal and hike are bad. There is no recognition for hard work. Favouritism and elitism are dominant across editorial. There are no challenges unless you are self-motivated.

Work Details

Work involves editing, writing and, coordination with freelancers. I am a hardworking and self-motivated person 2 and so I introduce new columns on my pages to break away from monotony. I specialise in environment, science and news.

Work days: Monday to Saturday (Strict Timings)

Work related travel: This job involves Travel Within City.
