Ken Research Salaries in Gurgaon / Gurugram (Updated 2025)

Likes

Nothing. No work ethic, no job security, firing without any concrete reasons, will never ever give your bonus. The co founders are nice people who actually care about it but people just below them are absolute ghouls.

Dislikes

Company has no projects, they will make you do same projects for repeatedly for different countries. They will fire people without any reasoning. People who report to the co founders are the real culprits who are responsible for a very hostile work environment. Many good people leave the organization because of this. Promises won't be kept in terms of work and incentive, you will have to do everything. They have no access to databases, they use the account of freshly graduated MBA students to access certain databases Overall please avoid going there. Not a very good place to be at.

...-boarding process. The Management is quite supportive. The work culture is nice. Salary is given on time. Great Learning and growth.

Dislikes

Because of the nature of the work, sometimes you are required to work post office hours.

Likes

Diversity: The variety of projects I got to work on was very diversified. That helps in opening up the mind and thinking from different perspectives. Client exposure: Also got to work on a few client reports which rarely happens in most companies at a junior position. Recognition: Received due recognition for my work. Future prospects: Extremely useful experience if looking to build a career in market research, consulting or even marketing.

Dislikes

...ate handling manager level workload but you will still be paid associate salary. Salary cuts are often and many. Even being 10-15 minutes late can get you marked unless you 'compensate' for that time later on. Leaves: Not many official leaves offered except for national holidays. Work from home: Usually not given unless there's an emergency. And since you probably will not have your own laptop, you can't work from home anyway. Facilities: No proper cafeteria, no in-office restroom. Employee satisfaction: Very low. People are mostly there only till they find the next opportunity. Overall: Ken Research functions as a very constricted company. According to me, the employees are very under-valued not just in terms of pay but also in terms of acknowledgment. Office politics is rampant. Senior leadership is not receptive to feedback at all.
