Pros

Good food, relatively fair work-life balance. Some of the senior management team (the old-timers) have inculcated a strong set of values

Cons

Low quality, uninspiring work, feels more and more like an outsourcing shop Strong IIT-IIM bias Overcrowded offices HR, marketing, finance and travel teams are not competent; function at a level far below the rest of the organization - the hiring bar here is very low Some of the new senior management recruits bring down workplace morale, unethical practice Management doesn't seem to have a clear vision for what to do with the money they raised.

Pros

The company's client centricity is exceptional, with a deeply embedded focus on delivering value, reflected in a strong and loyal client base built on high levels of trust and credibility. There is a significant commitment to AI research and forward looking capabilities, alongside a clear investment in building a people first culture over time. The company is well regarded in the market with a strong foundation for continued growth

Cons

TMT suffers from ineffective leadership at the helm with little visible effort to grow capabilities or drive meaningful outcomes. Exec contribution to growth is largely absent, making the net impact negative. Cultural values are not consistently reflected in day to day execution. It has a pattern of positioning other teams negatively including Growth, Tech, AI, and PA rather than partnering, which creates real friction with them resulting in loss of opportunities. There is genuine talent within the team being held back by leadership that prioritizes internal politics over building real capability, resulting in shallow vertical capabilities. The gap between what the company expects and what leadership enables the team to deliver is significant and consistently unaddressed
