...ork culture is not much stressed and employees can have a very comfortable life. The pay offered here is good and decent.

Dislikes

The pay discrimination. Since its a PSU, one of the biggest disadvantages is that you are not paid according to your Qualification and contribution rather it is much based on how long have you been in the company. The organization has been filled with enough examples where an IITian, CAs, MBA professionals who are much important to organization because of their skills are being paid less than an old age employees who might be just doing basic work like passing of medical invoices, being PAs to senior management, employee reimbursement review etc. They work does not contribute either to the growth or profitability of the organization however there CTC 3-4 times higher than that of Qualified personnel working in the same company. Further, very limited personnel from the top management are actually concerned about the health of the organization but mostly are just there to complete their tenure which makes the organization extremely slow and difficult for young professionals to work with full efficiency.

Dislikes

Everything other than salaries are worst as per my experience. Work culture is terrible with bad office politics, behavior of boss is pathetic treating young joiner worst than the servants putting up a huge pressure all the time , insulting and scolding almost everyday in the office in front of stuff and workers giving threats of taking disciplinary actions even though I could hardly remember any day I got back from office working after 8 hours. Overall everyday they have created an atmosphere of terror in the office. I feel like exploited in the office politics everyday. I had to work 101to 12 hours from Monday to Saturday or in some week got called in Sunday also.HR are very deceptive all the time speaking in a tone that they will stand by you but at the end they will stab you from behind. Very bad experience.
