Job security: There were no layoffs during 2020 pandemic. Work culture: Not the best. A bit toxic but depends on your director. There are a few 2-3 directors under whom you will get to learn and get have a work culture within team. These are AG(Mumbai), DS But most of the remaining 8-10 directors have bad work culture within their teams. Stay away from one director from Mumbai office. You will know him once you join the company. Fight with the HR if you are alloted a project under him, else he will make your IVP life hell just for his personal quirks. Company policies: very employee friendly. Cabs to pick up and drop in Noida. Night cabs in Mumbai, even upto Ulhasnagar and beyond. Good leave policy. 3times food in office. Fruits in refrigerator, fun activities, gifts during annual day(airpods, Alexa, etc) Management: The very top level: not so ambitious. But there is a lot of growth scope till you reach mid-level Mgmt. Annual revenues of company hover around 40mm mark since last 5 years afaik. So don't expect company and your career to grow at a fast pace once you reach a certain level. Short term Onsite travel opportunities(B1 visa, UK visa)...Read More

Dislikes

Politics, culture of directors to shout on engineers, analysts, etc. I mean literally shout on you as if it's a father-son relationship. Your complaining to HR will have no effect since Director=Partner=God>>>>HR. HRs have no power over directors since directors bring business. So CEO shouts on senior Ds, who shout on D's and the culture percolates all the way down. If you are willing to take up work, be ready to slog 12-14hrs a day 6days a week, with no recognition. Having said all this, you get to learn a lot at IVP. You will learn more in a year here than you would do in 2years in any other organization. Part of it is because you work more. Also because of a lot of challenging work and startup environment....Read More

Work life balance depends on how much you are willing to take. Be ready to work second shifts (2pm-12am), occasionally 2-3am as well. Works havoc with sleep cycle But you never have to face morning traffic or have s

As a business analyst the job will throw a lot of challenges right from day 1. You have to be ok your toes all the time and be ready to learn a bit of coding( basic SQL, bit of advance Excel and power bi or table)

Dislikes

Dislikes

Training/ Learning & Development - Minimal to un-adequate. They expect MBA grads to take end to end ownership of the projects. This leads to un-due timeline/$ delay/impacts, and un due high work pressure. Job Security - Okay. If you go against the will of someone egoistic (Director or above ranks), then be prepared for the worst. Career Growth - The talks of promotions only come when you put your papers/resign. Feedbacks/Appraisals - feedbacks are not specific in nature, and we're to general. Most of the times you end up executing projects under some other director. So your reporting director doesn't know your exact performance. The check-ins with directors are only once in six months. Salary/appraisal - higher single digit to 13% on average for BAs. Travel - Good, no complaints here. Politics - Luckily I didn't face any discrimination/ lost upon any opportunities due to corp politics. My director was fare and square on that regard. Work environment - A Honeymoon period (2-3 months) of training, followed by immense work pressure. This is where the company lags. "Training" cannot substitute experience, as in, you cannot train a person to run project. S/he should be "tagged" along with someone who knows/does that in & out, and should be transitioned "in" to a role. The firm lacks this strategy, and expect a freshmen out of a B-school to run a project which leads to a toxic environment with little to no help from managers or directors. Innovation/Growth Strategy - Poor - The company is not willing to invest to penetrate new markets/ hire highly experienced people/ get investors aboard which can take the Co to next level/on a growth trajectory. Work-life balance - Dark circles/coffee Mugs :( Don't even want to get started on this). HR Policies - Okay. I somehow felt that the hrs didn't have much say. Many had complaints around the poor work life balance that they suffered, however i didn't notice any shift towards a healthier balance....Read More
