Interesting work - not so good management

Pros

Really interesting projects on a variety of topics, colleagues recruited are generally really nice and competent, which makes the work interesting! Lots of learning on the job (but very little formal training). Good office location in central London.

Cons

Poor team management, which generates a lot of instability and stress. Line managers left to deal with junior employee's problems on their own, with appalling support (or lack of thereof) from HR. Pandemic was not managed well at all, causing unnecessary stress (and mass departures from the job) for many. Ridiculous pay cuts in April 2020, only to pay shareholders dividends 3 months later, mades you feel really detached and betrayed by the organisation.

Pros

None in GDS - Only management earns and rest of the staff are put to fend and work like slaves, with no dignity. India staff handbook policies are rubbish. Low cost HR's hired from BPOs further ruining company's image and brand in India.

Cons

In GDS, the management is promoting itself at the cost of staff performance. Staff treated like slaves in projects.
