Brand value. But only for clients. Coz it comes at a cost to the employee- miserable work life balance and extended hours almost all times and not just once in a while.

Dislikes

Pathetic work life balance. The philosophy is to just bag projects at lowest price and then try meet up the margins by getting the work done with least resources, hence overburdening the resource with extended hours , no weekends, and no breathers bw the projects. In a way best recipe for an unhealthy and wasted life. Although it all depends on the line of service and your team/leaders, but still I hear a similar feedback from my peers in other practices. Join in if you wish to look 40s in your 20s or 30s. All the best !

The company is relatively new and is at a stage where they pick up any kind of work that comes their way. This sometimes leads to opportunity to work in high value projects which gives one, high visibility and great amount of learning.

Dislikes

No one takes responsibility. Everyone is always trying to push the burden to the junior most people on team. Long working hours, travel at in appropriate times, poor hr policies, no job security, unfair promotions

The companies if full of politics and favouritism, the only good thing is that if at all you get good work in a project, the learning will be good based on the analysis, etc.

Dislikes

Everything, Worse culture, People here are terrible, do not leave a single chance to put down someone. Partiality, Favouritism is a very common thing here. Work is never appreciated.

Dislikes

Fully politics between SM and Director role. Never seen any of the company before. Poor work life balance No one will you proper chargable code or hrs for the BD task. Almost 6 timesheet that you need to fill daily Director shout infront of everyone in the call no proper communication and work flow from Top to bottom level management. Director ping directly to AM or Manger to do that task without any charge code. Most of the time people dont share project name due to confidential.

Likes

Good work culture within the team supported by friendly colleagues and managers. Projects are at strategic level pushing us to expand our industry knowledge.

Dislikes

Sometimes the work can involve a lot of secondary research and gets pushed by Onshore teams, which may not be of quality expected.
