Dislikes

Lack of technical experts, people in higher designation are really expert in managing, but SMEs are rare to find. Resource utilisation is really poor, always look to hire talent instead re-using and re-training existing employees. If the project is not good, then there is not work life balance.

I don't understand their FTE conecpt, most of the Employees in Govt Advisory are hired on FTE basis and even though most of them do BDEV along with project they are not part of company bonus. Any one who has been working on multiple things should be part of company bonus as per my view. To convert to on roll from FTE is still shady and many people don't know how to get it done
