This is govt contractual job. So you get all the State Govt. holidays .

Dislikes

Salary structure as well as there is no fixed date to get the salary and also the increment is only 900/- per year. And job security is terrible.

This place is good for a fresh college passout to gather experience. After initial experience gathering one should move on. There's no point in sticking in this job. You'll remain contractual year after years.

Dislikes

Zero job satisfaction. Zero growth. Salary hike/appraisal depends upon illogical points. High element of team politics. you'll always remain contractual throughout. Zero scope of becoming permanent government employee. No scope of innovation. Work place not up to the mark. Work environment not suitable for software development. Employee doesn't have any idea whether he'll get salary of next month.

It is good for freshers to work, but only for maximum 1 Year. Some managers are helpful and motivating people, very few we can say.

Dislikes

...s and demand to complete work, I mean how is it possible. Unnecessary pressure. Salary gets delayed some times. Need to learn most of the things on our own, without proper knowledge transfer. Salary and career growth is very slow. If you take it positively, then you will get exposure to work on all the stages of software development life cycle, from requirement gathering to designing, development, testing, hosting and error solving. I will suggest not to wait more than a year, because latest technology are NOT used here, you will be stuck with traditional methods.
