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.

Pros

not applicable in this company

Cons

GlobalData represents everything that defines a failing business: lack of business ethics, strategy, professionalism and customer focus. Employees work in horrendous conditions in an office that often lacks heating, (hot)water and air conditioning. One only needs to see the reception area to realize that the entire building is filthy and unsanitary - the toilets being so dirty that many employees choose to go to a local coffee shop instead. Company provides no training and does not invest in its employees - don't expect to have benefits that most other reputable companies provide (you will get none here). Senior Managements is incapable of attending high profile customer meetings as they do not understand the Healthcare/Oil & Gas industries, and thus unable to hold a professional discussion.
