Its a proud feeling working at Ministry of Defence, but as far as concern with career growth and salary it is quite disappointing, coz due to government organisation growth and salary hike is very slow, security reasons are very high due to this limitations are there for learning new things, work environment is satisfactory. The most satisfaction part is that we can easily balance our work-life here.
