Pros

* High job security * Till such time you're not affected my boss's harsh words - you'll have a relaxing time without doing anything (it is actually the worst thing but unfortunately that is the attitude management has built up over time and now it has become a relaxing criteria to choose IDBI as employer) * Takes care of all your ancillary expenses like medical, vehicle, etc. over your pay package * No limit of medical insurance

Cons

* Very slow growth * Management tries to find scapegoats for policy/strategy failures. This has led to building up an attitude of "Work Not and Be Safe" * Transfer policy does not work for HR personnel and veterans * Work place politics and employee discretion is at worst possible level * Growth is guided by years in service also - high possibility of finding incompetent people at senior level

Pros

salary is at a little higher side in comparison to other psu or govt banks. functioning like a pvt bank when it is a govt bank. career growth prospects are good for top performing people and for people connected to highly placed top brass.

Cons

leadership is confusing and most of the times uninspiring. distressed staff especially from the lower management are left alone to suffer and many times are bitterly harassed at the hands of hr, vigilance and other senior people on the pretext of help. this is most unfortunate at an organisation which aspires to be a global player. attrition rate is high, employee satisfaction level is depleting and even diminishing. many deserving staff without any connections are not getting the growth they deserve and hence are being wasted. management is too branch centric where all and sundry is reposed on the branch channel even the call center people assign their simplest of tasks to the branches thereby overburdening them and exposing them to very high operational risks.

Pros

"Comfy chairs and clean office desks. "

Cons

"Comfy chairs and clean office desks."- Nothing more than that. This bank has so such good thing to offer to it's employees. Lots of work pressure till 8.30 even if you get placed in a semi-urban area and 9.15 PM if in metros or a state capital. Managers and RH's are hypocrites and all they care and scare(others) about loans , CASA and tracking them. The BH's are liars and they keep pressurizing the newcomers and there's no Bhaichara among employees. They ask you to come to the office at 9 AM and there's no closing time as such. And there're dramas on Life Insurance an'd others that an employee has to go through. See, if u r posted at a pathetic rural or semi-urban place no one will show interest to take an LI and tell that to your manager and he'll say it's ur fault. No holidays like the state govt or central govt employees get. And the biggest lacuna is that u will never get the right path to choose from ur colleagues to follow if needed some help in something bank and system related. I advice everyone to never give this bank ur option while applying for IBPS.
