...re going to washroom, you have to take permissions. 2. Zero medical convenience. Though they have casual leaves and sick leaves option but if you are absent for more than 2 days continuously, your salary won't be credited because the HOI will not approve your leaves giving you irrelevant reasons from the account office. 3. Salary issues are there. Strict timing issues are there, they have biometric machines which don't work properly and attendance is not regularized, resulting in deduction of salary. 4. I understand the importance of I'd cards but they have started taking financial perks. One has to pay Rs 5000/- for lost I'd card. 5. The assistance while interviewing is tooooo good but after your joining HR will ask you to go to one person, that one person will ask you to go to the second and the cycle continues causing you excess work load and irrelevant stress. 6. No matter what, even if you have an accident or some operation/surgery, you have to join the institute within 3 days, else monthly salary will be deducted. 7. Sandwich holidays are calculated and that is normal, but even if you are taking 2 holidays in a week (just assume 1 on Monday and 2nd on Wednesday), weekly salary will be deducted. 8. Their instruments does work properly but the assistance and liberty of using the instrument is not given. At times the lab workers lie about the instrument not working properly so that they don't want to work and you will have to go outside the campus for your work/sample testing which will eventually cause you financial loss. 9. Hell level of politics.

... President. Something that made me very proud to be a part of the organisation. A few colleagues and timely salary, two days off, being among young minds.

There's nothing much to like in this place. A lot of pomp and show outside but it's all a facade.Petty politics,general negative environment, gossip culture, groupism and zero professionalism. HR is only interested in hiring and placing people in this campus but is not interested in the well being of the employees.You are as good as a piece of furniture here who is expected to perform miracles with no facilities.The maintenance is zero, poorly lit corridors, malfunctioning lifts, no funding for anything, zero policies for women's or students safety, gender based bias, harassment and molestation is common from male senior colleagues as no background checks are done before hiring. A few incompetent people have been working here for years and are highly insecure and try all kinds of tactics to push out the competent ones from the University.The higher authorities at the Kolkata campus are too occupied in favouring their own people and playing safe to actually think about the wellbeing of the employees or people without bias. Many of the staff members have made a complete mockery of official dress code inspite of reminders from authorities. People do not encourage or cheer for each other here so the whole environment is toxic and backward.The appraisals and increments are irregular and unpredictable, the management is in some kind of delusion that they are doing reall well or simply have given up as this campus is beyond repair. People were a little hopeful with the appointment of the new VC but sadly it's getting from bad to worse with basic human rights being completely disregarded and ridiculous rules, regulations being set at the whims of the new VC while the important matters that actually need some resolution remain the same.Every time a new VC is appointed, some new set of rules are put into practice, so there is no particular standard rulebook or guidelines.This place is sure to take a toll on your mental health. So thinking of working here for a long term is not feasible.

They provide salary and appraisal on time. But there are no defined salary structures. Only those close to top management get good salaries. Rest are underpaid.

Dislikes

Worst work culture. No job satisfaction. They do not spend on faculty, students, events or even industrial visits. The placements are also extremely poor. They only earn money but they don’t spend on anything. No skill development initiatives for faculty.

To complete the no. of lectures you have to take extra class.Lots of politics.Junior and senior culture.Stressful environment.HR policies are also vague.If you face any problem related to the department and inform HR about the same, no action will be taken.They don't promote research work.To get good appraisal you have to always say YES to your HOI.No job security,you can be fired any day and any time.Those who are thinking of joining AMITY please clarify your doubts before joining.
