Cedar Management Consulting Research Consultant salaries in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Team members are good. Scope of learning is steep. Pay is good if you’re an MBA from a premium college.

Dislikes

Family owned business where most of your day would be used to either manage egos of bosses or attend meetings which would’ve been an email. Long term employees have been forced to resign on petty charges like not being available on a weekend. You’ll always be overworked coz they are always understaffed.

Likes

Team mates are really good but the company culture is such where it is difficult to survive for more than a year. Traveling is great but the work life balance goes for a toss and it is indeed difficult to cope with the pressure put in by the senior management specially partners and directors.

Dislikes

Salary is much much on the lower side. Travel is extensive (expected in consulting) but there is not enough training provided on the projects that consultants are put on. Timelines and deadlines are ridiculous.

Likes

The exposure to the entire scope of projects and being hands on with them.

Dislikes

1) Extremely poor and toxic culture. 2) Zero mentorship from senior management. Very non supportive and derogatory 3) Limited opportunities for learning and skill improvement 4) Improper HR department. No employee support 5) No employee engagement activities 6) Poor work life balance 7) Employee bias

Likes

Nothing really, don't think twice

Dislikes

Poor work culture, abusive senior Management,no clear career path, no clear appraisal system although they boast of themselves running HR transformation programs for clients

Likes

Lots of intellectually challenging projects and opportunities to work with some of the most reputed companies especially in the Middle East.

Dislikes

Absolutely no concept of work life balance and hire-fire policy with no job certainty. Consultants are more often than not over stretched due to the extreme lean operating model.
