there wont be any fixed promotion in your whole working tenure i.e(If u joined as SSE then its no doubt you will retired from same post )although salaries and grade pay will increase after MSCAP but post will remain same.However there are departmental exam for promotion in gazetted rank but probablity is very less

Dislikes

Scope of work not defined, despite being an engineer the works in which we are involved ar totally non core , contract work have been a great headache , have to deal with the unskilled and complacent kind of personnel, no work life balance due to 24 hours services, despite with huge responsibility we posses minimal powers , other department does not cordinate accordingly, always afraid of getting chargesheet or punishment even in small negligence, no career growth if directly recruited as sse, very less scope of switching jobs , establishment related issue does not get solved easily even in case of salary matters ,no facility of recreational activities,Babu's are the bosses even if he is lower in grade pay
