The people are all polite and supportive. Relative to the level of work extracted from you, the payment is very good and the perks are pretty good too.

Dislikes

The work is boring, repetitive and often adds little in terms of skill and expertise. This leads to little growth and difficulty when trying to switch.

Decent pay, some good perks like lunch, team dinners, offsites

Dislikes

Toxic work culture, promotions only possible if you suck up to your managers. PLs are toxic, lazy bunch of people. Very rigid policies. Long hours and always sucking up to US counterparts

The company is good when you consider the salary and benefits but as said, all that shines is not gold.

Dislikes

Everything that shines is not gold. The culture, politics, work life balance, ill defined processes, rigidity to change, lack of SOPs, non empathetic leadership, ill trained team leaders is a major issue especially in finance. Moreover the company has some long termed employees who command even above the leadership though being junior and make it difficult for new employees to settle down. Overall the culture, work life balance and job security are pathetic which ultimately makes it impossible for you to enjoy the financial benefits they offer. I will never recommend this organisation to anyone who is sensible....Read More

Dislikes

if you are part of core consulting, learning and future growth is taken care of at it's own Other departments - after spending 3-4yrs you won't be able to move out of professional services. Personal learning is truly absent. Leaderships have been at the form for 5/10/15/20yrs, the best they know is how to navigate the firm politics.Lack tech skills heavily and are massively out of touch with industry knowledge....Read More
