Dont go just for brand name
Pros: - Work culture, diversity
- Decent Work from home flexibility/leaves
- Plenty of extra-curricular activities - Dance group, Sports club, Journals Club etc.
- Good learning and training platform - You need to make the best use of the resources
- Get to work with latest data analytics tools like SAS, SAP Hana, SPSS. Years ahead compared to other Big 4
- Amazing support to female professionals. One of the best.
Cons: - No work life balance. During the busy season, one has to work for more than 80 hr.
- Pay is not comparable to market. Appraisal system which got recently changed is not well understood by anyone. No of levels/designation is a joke.
- No learnings after 1 yr. Work is monotonous. Build networks and push for other projects otherwise waste of time.
- No exposure to the industry. Purely a backend office. The project we get is hardly for 30 hr. 90% of work is automated. Hardly any client interaction. Work in USA to whom we support in contrary is very diverse. However, we hardly get a challenging project in India which is justifiable since the managers in India are not capable/willing to take new challenges.
- No real leadership. You will find good leaders in other service lines.
- Game of thrones level politics in mid-management level. In such games one either live or die.
- Team size is around 200. Difficult to get recognition. No diversity in skill set. 80% of bench strength is fresh college graduate. Maturity level in the team is average. College like environment.
- Attrition rate is very bad. No seniors left in team. Difficult to find role models within the team
- Although not so important for me, out cost cutting is very evident in the outings and parties.
