Never join KGS MC Team
Pros: Nothing which I can think of
Cons: I joined KGS few years back, and man what a bumpy ride it is... I belong to their Management Consulting (MC) wing. The Management there is corrupt to the core, which was evident by the removal of a Director and few Managers from the team, when they were expelled from the company on account of taking bribes to get in some of their disciples into the firm. Someone from their own clan disclosed this and on a December winter, few of those chaps were caught off guard. And off they went out from the firm, Poof!!!

After that, a good for nothing Senior Manager, who didn't had any experience in handling a large team was made the head of the team and obviously, in his tenure the number of projects dwindled and almost all of them went to pipeline. The upper management woke up from their sleep and recruited a new Senior Manager after this. This new guy has come from another service based firm, which is notorious for regionalism and favouritism, and sure enough he had started the same behaviour in KGS too. That was evident from the team structure now, as most of the 'top performers' according to him, was from the same region from which he belongs. Obviously good and talented team members are avert to this, and they started either changing the team or left KGS altogether. This is the current stage of the KGS MC team, and I won't recommend any one to join it, unless you are good in buttering up the Managers. HR, as usual, are not conducive of the employees, but of the upper Management and you will be threatened to be put in Performance Improvement Plan, even if you are performing well. The new senior manager also pressurize the immediate managers to ask for the long tenured employees to leave the organization by setting them unachievable targets. If you have buttered him up and haven’t achieved your targets, that's not a problem. But for the others who genuinely work and who don’t know buttering up, like me, its a hell hole. I am still stuck here, and will be out of this hell as soon as I see something cooking up for me outside.
