Pros

For the Research Team(at Gurgaon) - Join if you are good at office politics and/or a brown noser - This is a captive unit of the consultancy arm hence you get all the benefits(read: facilities) that consultants get but work is much much less attractive than that done by Consultants - There is only one "the Manager" at the office.. if you have a good impression/relation with him it should be a smooth sailing for you.. But then the research team doesn't offer much to learn hence would effect future prospects

Cons

For the Research Team(at Gurgaon) - Graduates from good institutes have been hired till recently but now hiring from other local colleges like Khalsa has also started - No Set criteria for incentives or Hiring.. If a person sticks to the company for 4-5 years without actually contributing anything he/she is given more opportunities than others.. especially if he/she is a brown noser - The work performed does not really need any competency.. I don't know why they even bother with the interviews especially with the quality of people they hire - Work is generally google and other databases.. post graduates can in some cases make some sense of the project actually been handled by the consultancy but undergrads are clueless and there is not much learning for them
