Pros

Excellent place to learn the tenants of market research. Good quality processes in place to conduct the research study. Senior Management has market understanding - that provides interesting insights. opportunity to work end-to-end projects.

Cons

Client Servicing opportunity is dependent on immediate manager; Projects can get repetitive during the course of 3 years. Won't be managing a team without a minimum of 3 years experience. Pay Hike is marginal in the first 3 years.Appraisal structure is non-existent - KPO's not well defined.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
