Nothing, False advertising company

Dislikes

Company will following standards, Mismanagement, dumb managers like they want you manage your own and complete the work as soon as possible. Leave policy changed and now all the power is given to your managers and manager will not approve unless your are sick but only max 2 days and you will not get money for left leaves when you exit. No project management, nothing is there as they are showing good MNC. Message to all - Please don't join the company at any cost, rather join some startup...Read More

Work culture is good and understandable.

Dislikes

If you are someone who just wants to work in same company where culture is friendly with less than 2% of increment you can go.

You will work among some of the best intuitive minds in the industry. It's a great place not covered with seniority complex, but people are more streamlined and team oriented, which will work in your favor

Dislikes

No sufficient increments, very poor approach to talent retention, and no proper training before or during work, given that most people are only freshers. Very few senior employees who are not at managerial level. However, they are improving due to Dentsu, but it still remains the highest attrition rate among its peers, only due to their no perks or good increments at all.
