Diversity: The variety of projects I got to work on was very diversified. That helps in opening up the mind and thinking from different perspectives. Client exposure: Also got to work on a few client reports which rarely happens in most companies at a junior position. Recognition: Received due recognition for my work. Future prospects: Extremely useful experience if looking to build a career in market research, consulting or even marketing....Read More

Dislikes

No work-life balance: You are expected to work overtime and on weekends without pay. Work: Sometimes, you are asked to collect information that is genuinely impossible to find or calculate. This is generally not tolerated. The kind of tech and softwares that are used need to be updated as well. Company culture: Employers are highlydistrustful of employees. Outings are there but since no one has really bonded with one another, it doesn't really work. Employees are forced to participate in such events. If you don't come, your salary for the day will not be given. Management: Some of the mentors are great. However, senior leadership believes in micro-management down to the very last detail. Resource availability: Very poor. It is hard to get phones or laptops as and when needed. Have to run it by manager, senior manager and their accounts person to even just get a notebook. HR: HR is only there to try and hire people. Employee sentiments are never taken into account. Salary: Given according to position and not meritocracy. You could be an associate handling manager level workload but you will still be paid associate salary. Salary cuts are often and many. Even being 10-15 minutes late can get you marked unless you 'compensate' for that time later on. Leaves: Not many official leaves offered except for national holidays. Work from home: Usually not given unless there's an emergency. And since you probably will not have your own laptop, you can't work from home anyway. Facilities: No proper cafeteria, no in-office restroom. Employee satisfaction: Very low. People are mostly there only till they find the next opportunity. Overall: Ken Research functions as a very constricted company. According to me, the employees are very under-valued not just in terms of pay but also in terms of acknowledgment. Office politics is rampant. Senior leadership is not receptive to feedback at all....Read More

You have an ownership of a project which will give you freedom to get into the nuances and complexity of various industries.

Dislikes

Company does not have a bilateral flow of ideas despite being a very flat organisation. There are virtually no standards to gauge the performance of employees, everything goes by face value.

There is nothing to like about this company

Dislikes

They don’t provide any training sessions, but will want you to deliver 100% accurate reports. There are no learning and development for the employees. There is no work life balance here. They will expect you to work day and night but when it comes to appraisals they will not give you the raise you deserve. There is no respect for employees time. Better to be unemployed than working for this company....Read More

Projects are self paced and diverse, you can expect quick growth in the company if you achieve targets.

Dislikes

There is a lot of pressure to overachieve targets in a short duration, managers expect you to get work done and you will have to work overtime and on weekends. They expect you to have industry knowledge and provide insights without giving relevant or sufficient training. There is no skill development

Pathetic in-house MIS reporting platform, IT does not resolve any issues, accounts department lives in their own world 9. They have declared themselves in loss with the banks 10.
