Pros

Work life balance as you would be doing sub-standard work all the time Flexible work timings Work from home option (claimed to be there although it depends a lot on your manager)

Cons

- Pathethic leadership - Too much micro management and very little scope for growth - My manager writes each and every discussion on an email. Every little verbal discussion comes in an email (when we sit almost very close to each other in the same office). - Sub standard work where they claim to be advanced analytics and harping stories around AI but are just doing general BI work - No competency framework in place to help new employees understand what it takes to get to the next level - when asked what it takes to get to the next level to my manager - the answer was "how well you dress, how you talk "... that's it! - No guidance around your own professional development and career aspirations - Non-technical leaders with good degrees from premier institutes but not very strong PMO skills due to which they have being losing accounts. In my past year one year , I have seen multiple engagements getting scraped as either the product that was delivered to the client was not something they could use

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
