There are micro levels of politics and there are micro levels of micromanagement and then there are multi-layers of organizational hierarchy. Product development as an analyst firm in this organization is a classic example of copy pasting by hiring freshman candidates who desire to become an analyst in its literal research sense but you do not expect that to happen here.
Politics at is immensely worst: Top leadership is based in UK whilst there is a head or project head imposed in India for every group of analysts that covers different industries to gather the data content. The leadership in India that reports to UK needs to report to another geography head who sits on your throat while he guides his deputy in India to ensure things are immaculately tight. There is zero trust from UK and Australia and Singapore office. Leadership sitting in UK ANZ Singapore have absolutely no trust in the team that is based in India.
To operate and run the business sitting in Europe they deployed business heads whose qualification and overall experience is laughable to be even appointed over highly experienced and supremely potential candidates and enforcing them to report to a man whose CV stands no chance before the team he is leading.
At one point of time you will be reporting to at least 5 different bosses, if you feel sick of reporting same stuff to 5 different men, just relax, because all 5 will be at loggerheads with each other and this has resulted in best talent resigning from their roles all across UK Europe, Australia and Singapore office.
There is every possibility your mental health will be completely destroyed, your work-life balance will never be normal. A lot of Asians in this organization feel intimidated and very poorly managed by those in UK, Australia and Singapore.
Beside stress, you'd learn sharp politics, old employees forming a syndicate to ensure no new hire ever dares to stand a chance before them in terms of learning or growing.
