Pros

Good reputation but heading in the wrong direction Dedicated, professionals who truly want to do a good job.

Cons

Lowest pay in the industry, by far! Very little infrastructure and resources to help with this complex event. GPJ management talks a lot about how they value people's contributions but between the miserable pay and lack of process, it is merely lip service. Extremely silo'd workplace. Employees are more concerned about making sure their piece is in order and not so concerned about the bigger picture. Account management is nor supportive of internal staff and usually takes the client's side.

Pros

I had an awesome time at GPJ over the 6 years I was there. Great culture, great people, amazing clients and fun events. They worked hard and they played hard. I am blessed to have many friends from my time at GPJ.

Cons

OK pay, but you need to negotiate high going into the business because it's rare the big pay rises will happen. The only time I had a significant pay rise was being counter offered after a job offer from a competitor. There wasn't much focus on training and development of staff, and as a result people sadly moved away. Senior Management politics were at play about the time I was leaving which led to very low morale.

George P Johnson's Mumbai office can be avoided

Pros

Brand name globally, pays salary on time, if you are known to the Mumbai office from past it works in your favor.

Cons

You have to obey the internal nexus. High attrition rate. You can be asked to leave on no reasonable grounds. Erratic work timings. Hierarchical and bureaucratic. Work environment isn't how you have in an agency (fun and creative) instead it is suffocating. A proper research before joining is recommended, speak to a lot of people before joining. All the Best!
