Dislikes

...hile on vacation, during sick leaves and while traveling . Horrible at times 2. Salary is simply above avg to decent at best. Competition clearly pays better or players in QCom pay better 3. Nature of work is too ad-hoc. Work just creeps in from 5 different sources. No track as to what is being done. Everyday is a new task that you work on. Don't get to be involved in meaningful analysis in 6-8 months after joining. Very draining . 4. Some people close to seniors/leadership easily take wfh every month while in other teams it's looked down upon. 5. Constant fear/pressure that if some mistake is done in critical work then your ongoing day could very well be the last working day (no NP remember)

The Business Analysis role is predominantly sales. Minimal scope for analysis. One receives calls from clients at highly odd hours. Since they mention "flexible" hours, you are pretty much working the entire day.
