Proud about the fact that we are contributing to the betterment of the society by manufacturing Covid vaccine to end this pandemic. Job security is good and you get to learn many new things. Initially lot of freebies were offered, but now, I feel they have reduced. Free transport, lunch are bonus points

Dislikes

Salary normalization is quite high and we need to bargain hard to get the expected salary. Multiple projects needs to be handled at the same time, resulting in average work-life balance

Shift allowance and medical benefits

Senior management and leadership are bunch of sitting ducks waiting for retirement. They simply dont perform and doesnt encourage or like people who performs. Their only skill is Politics only. In 2021 year end they laid off a quarter of workforce even if they are performers.
