The only good thing is that TOI doesn't sack people but apart from that, TOI has a toxic work culture with creepy bosses who favour their coteries only. Career growth opportunities are limited.
Dislikes
Not much to learn from the bosses. One becomes a boss in TOI after years of buttering and flattering. Bosses are abusive and discouraging. They openly resort to nepotism and prejudice. Many bosses prefer women.
With respect to salary, hardly there is 5% hike every year. That too after lot of threats and oiling. Work environment pathetic. My advise would be to avoid TOI.

Work life balance is much better on organisation level. While this is also dependent on reporting manager. Because have seen people suffering as well. But overall it’s ok.
Dislikes
Appraisal are really low.
New SOPs in Response are really tarnishing companies image.
The entire industry is struggling due to no proper calculation metrics for ROI.
