Avalon Consulting Research Analyst salaries in India

Likes

Exposure is high. Learning is good. Firm gives good visibility and learning opportunities since partners are closely involved in the studies. Good place for a 2 year stint.

Dislikes

Pay isn’t as high. Bad work life balance and weekend work is part of the culture. Firm has lower brand value compared to big 4’s. Firm has been around for a longtime, but hasn’t grown due to heavy dependence on just the same LT team which leaves little to no space for fresh minds. Weak middle management and high attrition at mid management.

Likes

People are generally good. Projects are challenging and learning curve is steep as well.

Dislikes

...hich might make a Tier 1 college guy feel secluded for being at the wrong place. Pay is low by at least 30% - 40% for a Tier 1 guy, compared to other consulting firms.

Likes

Career growth and work environment is good. You're always working with smart people.

Dislikes

Compensation could've been better. HR is terrible and fights over petty issues even with the interns. Work life balance is non existent.They need to improve their policies if they want to attract and retain talent

Likes

Good culture, with enough flexibility given to consultants (but may vary depending on the project you're working on). Overall a good place to work

Dislikes

Work life balance can get regularly impacted if you're on a bad project, and your learning and job satisfaction depends a lot on the project you're on, which is largely out of your control, as project allocation happens randomly

Likes

Approachable people, opportunities to learn, general culture is good, and positive behaviour is encouraged

Dislikes

Not everyone is exposed to good projects, people may stay in same projects for 2-3 years and it may get stale, although longetivity in a project is rewarded, but most people do not prefer it
