1. Tata Steel is almost 95% government type (sarkari) organization lacking a dynamic work environment.
2. The employee morale (officers) is probably the lowest in the industry.
3. It is the best place in the country (or perhaps even worldwide) for non-officer category workers.
5. Not a place for the young, energetic, dynamic and the talented.
6. Jamshedpur is an oasis which is literally cut off from rest of the world
7. No work done here is original. Almost all activities are carried out in "Jugaad" mode.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to chuck out the old and worn out employees who are actually pulling down morale of the young and the budding talent. The top management needs to be more dynamic in its compensation, promotion and reward policies to keep down talent attrition rates. The management needs to urgently do something to eradicate the "sarkari" type of work culture in Jamshedpur.
