Our Analysis
PSU- salaries are less, perks are more

Ministry interference at BPCL and Nestle worldwide interference at Nestle India

Joining the company at initial stage BPCL, Joining the company at any time Nestle

Attrition rate at BPCL is lower due to various factors.

Comparing BPCL and Nestle India we see that BPCL is a much larger company with higher revenues. Many a times PSUs like BPCL have to undergo losses due to the subsidized price set by the govt. such a situation is observed in the case of LPG and petrol sales. Social status as PSU company head is more than private company PSU safety and security of job
