GVS Insight/ Pre sales/ Sales consulting/ Tele sales- Gurgaon
Pros: - Work Life Balance: No one stays in the office for more than 7.5 hours and there is no carrying work to home
- A heaven for those who don't want to work/are lazy/incompetent, as you are not accountable for the quality of your work
Cons: GVS insight/presales/Sales consulting/ Tele sales/cloud sales consulting- Gurgaon: 
 People are stuck in this profile for years with no salary increment or negative appraisal. This team works like a bania shop. It was a 30 members team until two year back which is now reduced to 15. Oracle is about to layoff 15,000 people in India. I am afraid they might close down this team too as management does not see value in the work team is delivering.
- No professional development or training
- None of the policy is employee friendly
- No annual appraisal or performance review as there is no increment since past 7 years
- Recently they drastically decreased their variable salary (which is 20% of the total package) by 90% without any prior notice or discussion
- When you approach management to discuss this issue they show you the door and say that it’s an efficient market and you are free to look out for the better opportunity
- There is no HR policy/Connect: you only meet HR once i.e. at the time of induction
- If you still want to join this profile then start searching for a better opportunity as soon as you join the company and take everything they promise in writing because they will go back on their commitment that they make at the time of salary negotiation.
A guide for salary negotiation: When I joined the company they used to offer packages around 10 lakhs but now they have significantly increased that.  There is no cap on % of hike that you can get over your current CTC (people have even negotiated even 100% hike) as they include 20% of the CTC as variable pay  and you only get 10% of this, as company is not performing well. They negotiate hard and even make false promises but if you negotiate well you can pull off a very good salary package. Below is the guide as per designation offered: 
Senior Associate: 15-16 lakhs + CAB + internet reimbursement upto 1500
Consultant: 20-22 Lakhs +CAB + internet reimbursement upto 1500
Senior Consultant: 25-27 Lakhs + CAB + internet reimbursement upto 1500
