Pros

There are some good people working here Fairly chilled out Good to gain entry level experience

Cons

Awful pay No promotions - You want to progress your career here? Forget it. Long hours Management haven't got a clue 110% sales focussed - They don't care how you make a sale, as long as you do it. Unethical - A customer overcharged for a product? No worries! Milk every penny we can! Staff feel like just another cog in a stuttering machine Many employees are demotivated - There is no interest on management looking to raise morale Zero benefits Embarrassing business processes - This is supposed to be a 'big company'.

Pros

Relaxed work environment Leaves are easily granted

Cons

Low compensation compared to industry peers Hike in salary way below industry average Promotions come late and are regardless of performance in many teams, depend more on sycophancy Very large difference between the compensation of junior employees ( associate analysts, analysts ) and senior management ( APM, PM and above) unexciting work, no skill development, no learning, inadequate training imparted to analysts. No access to any research tool or database, endless googling . Team leads and senior managers lack relevant experience and knowledge to guide and mentor subordinates. Lousy HR department , has no control in any matter of the company. Short term vision of the company. Lack of transparency in policy change and implementation. Low employee morale Very High attrition rate, no employee retention policy. Inadequate office space, employees have to work in shifts. Very few recreational activities , parties Poor handling of conflict management within a team by senior management.
