Work culture, job security are two key elements to be cherished. Transparent compensation and payroll mechanism, lots of investment and tax savings avenues, great HR support specifically during health issues are big plus points

Entire organization is heavily ruled by lobbyists. Salary and grade offered by paranoid HR people will make you dejected. 90% projects are maintenance with night shifts and odd working hours and inhuman managers will ask for slogging. In Kolkata they have office in Bantala in leather complex which is as good as saja-e-kalapaani.

Dislikes

Bantala office. Horrible work environment.
