      Pros

      You get to work on cutting edge technology.

      Cons

      The discrimination between the officers and the sailors are very wide. You and your family have no respect as a sailor. Even during some celebration like Republic Day or Independence Day the sailors are served food like dogs. You cannot leave the service because of the bond signed by you. You count your days waiting when the bond will finish.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      A good support system and perks. Housing is mostly available. Government pays for a lot of perks such as children's education, car mileage, etc. The intrinsic value of working for your country. The work life balance in Base postings is great. The respect from society is high. postings allow you to see Central and South India well.

      Cons

      Extremely rigid and bureaucratic structure. It is the govt after all. The Navy has forgotten to get rid of the British baggage and proudly carries a lot of garbage from that era. Seniors can be very abrasive and culture can quickly be very vindictive if you don't fall in the mold. Training is tough, especially for the cadet entry.It is everything you can imagine and more. Many cadets drop out after being injured for life. Officer entry cadets cannot leave the service voluntarily unless allowed by the President, which will never happen. Below Officer entry have very little perks and are treated very rough, end up doing menial jobs for the officers. Overall culture is not of collaboration and uplifting but rather sad.

      Pros

      A highly adventurous life. Extremely fulfilling. Get to see quite a few different countries and interact with people from different cultures. Highly sophisticated ships, submarines and aircraft.

      Cons

      Family life can be quite disrupted particularly in operational appointments. The frequency of transfers can be quite over-whelming and does cause a problem particularly for children's education.
