Pros

Nothing that I can think of

Cons

Environment where flattery is rewarded and competence is sidelined in the India Noida office. Finance is a place where politics outweighs professionalism. Culture of arrogance and fear of own jobs prevails

Pros

Colleagues are wonderful, and people reluctantly leave. I thought I’d be there for 2 years, I ended up staying for 14 years. The workload can be challenging at times, but there’s usually a very supportive atmosphere no matter the pressure of deadlines

Cons

In the 14 years stayed at senior designer level, standard training for the whole department happened on two occasions, usually a two day intensive advanced Adobe courses for InDesign and Photoshop. Any other training, like apprenticeships was almost impossible to get, even after putting together business cases or after identifying knowledge gaps.
