Pros

Get to work one day a week at home Training will provde a platform for your next role Any other beneifts listed here will most likely not be from an analyst!

Cons

Very high staff turnover, which speaks volumes Long hours (9-6), almost imossible to do with a family No bonus Minimum statutory holiday (20 days, need to keep 3 for Christmas) Complaints from staff are ridiculed and completely ignored Pay isn't great, not a company that you could see yourself staying in long term No tea/coffee/lunch facilities. There is a 'canteen' in the basement which sells minimum amount of food and drink

Pros

1. You can learn innovative ways to avoid work 2. Will learn office politics very quickly 3. Soon develop thick skin

Cons

Cannot be finished. But here are the major ones: 1. The HR will outright lie to you about package when they need to recruit you. They will talk about your package and bonus separately, even though they will include it in the salary. HR will tell you that average hike is 10% minimum, but at the time of appraisal, you will not get more than 3-3.5% hike. 2. Management treats everyone like dogs. Most of senior managers are coming from similar backgrounds so have not learnt anything better, in terms of behavior. 3. Everyone in the management wants to show off their skills. So, policies and work style will keep on changing every few months. 4. Strike system - if you do not reach office by 9:15 AM, three such misses will deduct half day of your leave. 5. Frequent churning. No job security and the company goes on splitting itself. 6. Almost all non-office websites are blocked. Even yatra and IRCTC. If there is an emergency at home and one needs to buy ticket, it will not be possible. 7. Management and HR create fake profiles in Glassdoor and Naukri to track whether employees are trying to get jobs outside.
