IT Executive

Pros

Still very stable job, Initial package is significantly higher than most IT companies. Works at very basic level, lot can be learnt about DBMS, Application servers and Web Technologies. Most of the co-workers are helpful and affectionate. Locations are very good for IT. Generally no shift, all NI Act holidays are available.

Cons

Tools and frameworks are not used enough, this can make some works tedious at times. Top management is not much familiar with latest trends in technology, so not always ready accept new technologies. Part of users are very little accustomed to computers, this may cause serious trouble at times while designing. Changes keep coming regularly in requirement of deployed projects, So it gradually becomes difficult to maintain. IT has a very limited scope of growth, also increment in pay is not much. So despite being on high side on early days, package becomes average after few years. Job priority is not always clear.

Pros

For typical middle class ambitionless, risk fearing, feet licking Bengali gentlemen..it's a wonderful place to work

Cons

1) Slow adaptation to change resulting into lagging miles behind the likes of TATA Power 2) Most of the DGMs and GMs are more of Professors rather than professionals. They have made it more of a school rather than office. That is a great factor which is lowering the dynamicity and vibrancy of the company 3) Those professional PROFESSORS invariably search for the youngsters whom they can make scapegoat during appraisal process. Rich gets richer and poor gets poorer until the boss finds a new ' chicken ' to slaughter. Boss, wake up and stop the nonsense 4) Special privilege of some of the older dy managers who are so called son like to the DGM. In terms of promoting or company paid foreign trips. The young guys have to hear that you are not even qualified for these...whereas youngsters expect some appreciations for their efforts to the team. If not promote them, atleast don't hurt their confidence.
