Likes

...a good work life Balance. And people are very supportive even in personal life. Salary is below par, but perks are similar to a PSU, but a scaled down version. Medical service is one of the best.

Dislikes

Salary Could have been better(which we employees always complaint)

Likes

Good for freshers because they give much attention for growing technical capabilities. Power Plant is a good sector for core engineering branches to learn and grow. Job security is there.

Dislikes

Politics is there and officers can't get their expected respect from others. Salary is decent but career growth is slower. Acute shortage of man power in every department. You've to do others duty as well.

I had the opportunity to work with some great managers who were instrumental in my growth. The company does not shy away from giving you responsibility right off the block..so even as a fresher you could be leading high impact initiatives. The job requires managing multiple stakeholders, large team of unionized employees and a customers across all strata of the society, so your team and stakeholder management skills would be honed. The culture is very familial, with people ready to help you out when needed

Dislikes

Opaque performance evaluations and some managers play favourites Poor salary growth and promotion structure A top heavy organization, with very little churn at mid and senior management levels that often throttles new ideas Most managers acutely lack a business understanding and have very poor skills or motivation for executive development and building the next line of leadership Most of the Middle Management (Deputy Managers to Deputy General Managers) tend to bask in the glory of the organization and rarely look outside to learn and develop, zero self assessment in terms of management practices Lack of communication within the ranks of the organization and no scope of pivoting across functions within the organisation

This is the best company for Un interrupted electric supply in India. Salary structure is good.job security is excellent.My colleagues behaviour is so good and helpfull for this reason work atmosphere is familiar.

Dislikes

There is no motivation of work. No technical training programme organised in working place. At future career growth and opportunities is not so good. So much politics at upper management.

The company is very famous in Kolkata only, and it's a pride if u stay in kolkata, other than kolkata no one knows about this company. there is no in/out time, but u cant leave before 7pm.

Dislikes

rampant internal office polytics, they one who does more oiling to boss gets home with bonus and perks, others nothing. I have worked in 4 compaies before in gujarat, orissa, maharashtra n karnataka, this is the most un-professional company till now, and the company is of 99% bengalies.
