I like that India Today really cares about their employees. They follow an employment first policy and that's really great. Sanitisation work has been great with desks being wipes every two hours. I feel safe working in my office through these tough times. The boss keeps everyone motivated through regular emails. Even in these trying times, they have announced Diwali surprise and appraisals. That's the silver lining which has put a smile on everyone's faces.

Job security - Excellent

Dislikes

Work progress is slow, especially in Kolkata station. A lot could be done but the pace is slow. Everyone is laidback. That's sometimes demotivating. I took a paycut so sometimes I get upset about slow pace of work. Career growth is slow. That's the only drawback. The management is a little too good for employees who look for a leeway to exploit resources.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
