Good Career Opportunities. Poor Work-Life Balance.
Pros: There are good career opportunities. The leadership (Partner/Director) values merit and tries to ensure that challenging assignments are assigned to interested individuals. The practice leadership team engage with talent and are very approachable.
Cons: Work-Life balance cannot be maintained due to high work load. The salary appraisals and existing salaries are not at par with other big-4 organisations. Of late, people are hired tier-2 and 3 companies (without consulting background) who cannot maintain quality of client delivery and thus puts more pressure on 1-2 individuals on the team.
Also, there are some HR policies in place are anti-employee- Bonus is not paid to employees on notice for previous year - (Mar) ,even if they leave in Dec. The leave encashment is done only for max 22 days, even if more than 40 are accrued.
Exit Processes are obsolete. The notice period is 3 months, however, the KT does not start till the last week. Too Many clearances and red-tape. HR department is obsolete , and merely follows the practice leadership.
