Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. The work pressure is very high. Sometimes, I have to work 14-18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late into the night. Managers do not value an individuals’ unique strengths, which is why I have to take back my suggestions most of the times. I do receive appreciation emails from my client, but they mostly go unnoticed during my mid-year appraisals

Recruitment needs to be improved. Organisations must hire people who are devoted to work and want to learn. Or perhaps this generation feels entitled to not give in their full to a job

Dislikes

Acute cronyism, mediocrity, bias in selection (anyone can get into the company if she/he knows a senior account director there or has a family friend who knows the senior account director), bullying, aggressive behavior towards new joiners, work from options extended only to cronies, high attrition at account executive/senior account executive level, some account directors are permanent lifelong employees. Some directors are insecure about juniors, especially ones that don't pander to their ego, so they will make life difficult for such employees until they quit. One particular director's modus operandi is to load people he dislikes with tons of work whenever there are long weekends (for example, Durga Puja holidays), so the employee won't be able to enjoy the weekend.
