Pros

Working hours are very flexible and the managers don't want you to sit doing nothing if you have no work. Very friendly people. Stress free work environment

Cons

Less than 1% of the company seems to be doing actual analytics. Most of the people are actually reporting. This involves mind numbing data pulls, moving data from excel to ppt and vice versa and making presentations look pretty. Requests are generally of the from "This is a presentation I made, make 100 of them for 10 categories at 10 markets" The kind of work that you will do will totally depend on the team you are in and you have no option to switch. Highly incompetent HR. Makes promises and fails to deliver them. Recently, we were promised market corrections and did not receive them. Their answer, "We cannot do anything. Forget what we said" Now the difference of salary of a person with a years experience and a fresher is less than 2.5%. That is the worth of a years work at this company.

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
