Just a good learning platform for freshers only.

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

Metrochem API Research and Development Centre offers a good learning platform for freshers but lacks competitive salary, career growth, and work-life balance. Strict policies, delayed increments (2-3 years), and an unfavorable work environment make it challenging for experienced professionals. While it provides initial exposure, long-term prospects are limited. Improvements in compensation, employee well-being, and structured career progression would enhance overall satisfaction.
