The Financial Express Engineering - Software & QA Department Salaries in Chennai

Likes

I like the fact that there is a sort of dignity for each employee shown by the company. There is no pushing around that I normally see in newspaper before this.

Dislikes

There is a disregard for certain employee even if they will be toiling as much as possible while some lift only their fingers and get noticed and get all the incentives. In short, there is bias in the company.

I got incredible colleagues

Dislikes

This place involves a lot of politics & no promotion based on ur performance. Promotion is solely based on the no. Of yrs u spend in the company. Another disadvantage is that the company shows a higher CTC however ur take home will be only half of that per month.

There are nice memories of the camaraderie among colleagues at the workplace, celebrating birthdays and even organising parties in their residences as at Diwali. This is not often experienced in bigger newspaper platforms like the Times of India where inter-personal relations are marked by deep suspicion and rivalries. This atmosphere is conducive to greater productivity and work-life balance.

Dislikes

Being a relatively smaller pink paper, there are naturally limits on the salaries and promotional possibilities when compared to more corporatist platforms like the Times of India. But there is a degree of relative workplace and job security at Financial Express that outweighs the negatives.
