Dear Mr Yogesh,
Whether to continue in Army or quit it is your personal decision. Nevertheless, I found following merits and demerits of defence officers:
Merits: - mentioned already by other members. What is not mentioned is that most of them walk the talk. This is biggest binding factor for the juniors. Good writing skills. Ability to create process if it is not there.
Demerits: -
(a) Biggest problem is lack of commercial thinking or commercial sense
(b) Driven by rules than results. Officers are unable to create measures of performance for their staff. 99% officers get caught in the nitty-gritty and do not visualise larger picture.
(c) Unable to motivate staffs. At times their mouth is "Weapon of mass destruction".
(d) They are super yes-men and expect same to be from their juniors.
(e) Never ever take feedback from juniors and show willingness to change their behaviour.
Since your asked for feedback, I have given it honestly. I have watched at 10 officers closely. The above feedback is based on watching their administration style.
All the best!
