HT Media Reviews

Likes

The only thing good about HT is work life balance. No one knows what others are doing so you can come and go at your own convenience.

Dislikes

A number of reasons:
1. Multiple bosses. There are a number of overlaps in the inherent structure. One reports to a number of people.
2. Massive confusion in portfolios. No one seems to clearly understand and define the work to be done.
3. Weakest HR: HR is practically non existant and do not follow any set rules. They change with people. No sanctity of any HR policies.
4. Lack of process orientation: every person does and manipulates process as per their own requirement. This the processes are changed / altered on a daily basis.
5. Job security: anyone can be asked to leave anytime. Thus everyone is scared of loosing his job for any frivolous reason.
6. Unreasonable target setting: no logic to setting sales targets. They can vary from 50% to 250% over last year without any logic. Thus a handful would get their variable components.
7. The reporting is basis personal efinities and not on set on team structures. Confusing dotted lines reportees can go to anyone.
8. Unwilling to change. All efforts to bring a positive change and establish proven systems are resisted. The old guard is too strong to let any new person bring any positive change internally.

Work

Environment at HT is confusing, fearful and frustrating.

Likes

It has a lot many talented people at the mid management level across BU and regions. Hindustan Times is still the backbone but has gone through a jittery time in the last 24 months. In terms of salary and timeliness there is nothing to complain however a huge gap in payscales at the lower level. Also increments have been very sparce.

Dislikes

Leadership is a weak point with no visionaries. It's mostly the 'yes sirs' who have taken up the leadership chairs. Secondly no one puts their hand up to take a call...it's like a public sector office where only meetings take place but no outcomes. HR policies are in plenty but HR personnel have no clue about it. Some HR heads are like cctv recoders whos only role is policing. Being a part of the marketing team, I surely can say the chief marketer is absolutely a good for nothing chump and is only surviving coz of his only ability of ass licking.

Work

It's aptly said gauge your boss before you join. I was happy to work with some brightest mind. However within no time demonitisation struck and due to no long term vision there was chaos and firings. The leadership team never took responsibility. It's HT.

HT Media is a company which is People Centric and values their employees. The work culture is excellent, and employees are been respected for their decisions. The company also provides complete training and necessary programs are designed to enhance the skills of their employees. The CO. focus is always on planning solutions for their Business associates. I am glad to be part of HT Media as I have grown professionally in this 4 yrs and gained exposure by handling Key clients for the group. The hard work put in here is well rewarded and incentivized. Another plus point is that my colleagues who come from various background of knowledge and expertise with whom we work in collaboration and come up with meaningful solutions s for our business associates.

All things are in hand of Some Middle Management people,Who take wrong decision and always ready to do new experiments on monthly basis.There NO incentives for even hard working people while top and middle management people getting their RV.The system is against the honest and dedicated gardening guys.Only buttering is the tool through which you get appraised every year.There is always communication gap between top management and middle and front liners.

For front liners it is esay to spend 6 months time. After that you will played by Higher management and life will be screwed up.

The Only thing good is Salary on time.

Dislikes

Initially it was Good Cultured organisation...Now one of the worst work environment with No vision of middle management guys.

Initially Good ...Since 2015.. Worst

The people in an organization sometimes do make a big difference in the overall work environment and this is a plus point for this company. There is ample of learning one can do you just need to be determined and hard working.

Dislikes

The people at the hierarchy level do take advantage of thier position and get partial with thier favourites. However i have rarely been a victim but have observed this. After a perticular point the growth gets stagnant and the company fails to give opportunities or any cross functional opportunities to their current employees inorder to make the person feel that the company is equally interested in their career growth.

Work

Hectic and Draining most of the times.
Once in a while it gets relaxed.

Likes

With this organisation trust, I could able to handle NCR and outstation projects like Radio Stations at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mint office in New Delhi, TV studio in New Delhi, Press building Mumbai, Patna, Greater Noida, Gurgaon office, States Office - Lucknow, Bhopal, Kolkata other Hindi paper setup at different locations.

No career growth, employee consideration is low, work life balance goes for a toss.Company expects you to work round the clock, huge work pressure on Sales team.

Dislikes

Micromanaging by the manager, Encroachment on personal time, Surroundings too were negative, People in the company just do not respond to any activities, just do not. Lot of follow ups are required for everything which is mere waste of time. Couldn't bear that place for more than 5 months.

It was boring

Overall working in IT Media Ltd. is good. Company has different branches and Noida is one of them. Work enviroment is challengable because of hightech machinery and latest SAP/APSSC technology.

Dislikes

Work pressure is very high. I usually work 9-10 hrs a day or even on holiday to complete task. So it is difficult to devote time for family.

Work

I look after store and entire purchasing of goods/service in plant. Also responsible for MIS, documentations and intrnal/statutory audit.
