The H.R.E.L. Township is one the best townships available in the city. Good medical benefits for employee as well as family. Good exposure to a lot of technological aspects.

Dislikes

Average pay is way less than other industries in the same sector. Appraisal rating system is extremely biased. Same people keep on getting highest ratings year after year without doing anything just because of favouritism. Very poor work culture, toxic environment. Not at all a "start-of-career" kind of company.

Work culture is very well and good, salary and increment is definitely high , just example I joined this company in feb, 2015 at salary 5.85 lacs CTC, now april 2017 my salary reached at 8.46 lacs per annum .no politics is there, at last work - life balance is best as earlier .I worked here freely and friendly .

Dislikes

During Durga Puja festival no long leave is given due to maximum Bengali people works here.this is pretty painful.otherwise nothing is disliked.

Likes

Job Security: Very good Work Culture: Selected few gets all the credits of good works & scapegoats are maligned for upper / middle management's failure. Company Policies: Policies are (1) Kolkata office's higher mgmt persons-centric, (2) policies can be shamelessly altered varying based on person to person. (3) if required, management can even tell some unwritten rules (obviously without showing any written proof) to prove/disprove some points.

Dislikes

... discriminations. Having no rule or no single same yardstick is the rule in HPL. Most people (save some selected few) do not get market prevailing salary package w.r.t. their respective years of experience. On top of that, people's appraisals (& thereby their future / growth) are mercilessly butchered in guise of bell-curve for only 800 employees.
