Dislikes

... no one is going to appreciate and it will be considered as the bare minimum. 4. Compensation and benefits: there are no benefits and everyone is extremely undercompensated. we work on 4 or 5 projects simultaneously all the time and we are paid peanuts. 5. Career development: there are no programs within the organization for development. The company is all together not a employee centric company. Just focused towards generating money and pumping into senior management's pockets.

At least in CoE (Centre of Excellence) which primarily caters to the international research have the added advantage working from home. Client exposure is good, with a bit of learning. Really good for those who have inclination towards marketing and market research

Dislikes

At times the work like balance can be daunting. So is the pay structure. It’s below par the standard industry rates.

There are different teams and you think one team is better than the other because few can hide their toxicity better than others, but eventually everything is just the same. what I like is that among so many sharks, if you are naïve and don't understand politics you will learn the tricks from the best.

Dislikes

...iri, and not when you are a true professional and follow professional ethics. No work life balance, no good compensation. Everyone seems sad and depressed. The seniors are watching you at all times, they are constantly looking at you and watching your move. some seniors are waiting for you to make a mistake and making this a big issue to make you the escape goat for all of their faults and shortcomings. Please don't join even if you think the money is good, it is not because you end up paying hospital and therapy bills.

Before starting off I would mention that company provides a great environment to learn new skills. People are highly competitive, probably you will find few bad people but that is the case in every org. Few more good points are as below: 1. Work-Life Balance 2. Good place to start off your corporate career 3. Exciting team collaboration activities - instead of spending so much on collaboration activities, they should give people good salaries, that might help them bring down attrition 4. Secured job 5. Highly skilled crowd - Some people are actually good, but such people do not stay in the firm for long.

Dislikes

... bearable considering the industry 2. Political environment 3. Redundant work 4. Very less salary across levels as per industry standards 5. Top management-centric teams - you won't get much leadership exposure at the junior or mid-level positions, which is the biggest drawback. 6. Very few leaves - people get leaves based on manager favoritism 7. High attrition - some teams have very high yearly attrition, as high as 25%
