Pros

The world culture is very supportive Managers are very helpful and understanding HR is very powerful People work as a team My mentor was amazing in bringing me up to mark. Very selfless and truly amazing. People are very welcoming and kind. Incentive structure is phenomenal.

Cons

None that I can think off

Pros

Great profile in a high growth industry.

Cons

I had joined as a management trainee and there was no rating given for two years. So no process or KRAs set aor documented. Even after two fabulous years, the management expected a certain incumbency as a criteria to promotion with no weightage on numbers. The management only worked in fire fighting mode and it was only when I decided to move on was I offered a new role to compensate for a year lost. It was too hard to believe as there was documentation around this. The industry I worked in is a volatile industry which requires a lot of compliance and expertise which I believe is lacking in the senior incumbents and mid - level management. There was minimal support on large deals which were closed and reviews were taken on pen and paper. Top level management moved out around the same time without succession planning which puts a question on D&B's interest in a high potential market like India.

Pros

- The people are very good and welcoming. This is the result of the culture. Transparency exists - Work is encouraging - lots to learn. - Great Timing options to avoid traffic. - Transportation facilities - Good employee engagement activities . (seminars, games, festival celebrations,etc.) - CSR activities are also great and helpful. - Nice canteen where lunch is available at subsidized rates for employees.

Cons

- None that i can think of.

Pros

Freedom of work, good compensation, and incentives, on-time reimbursements.

Cons

management is not aware of the ground realities in the market.

Pros

There are so many pros about this company that you can successfully write each behind a postage stamp.

Cons

The company is filled with employees who should have taken retirement ages back but still occupying seats and not allowing young people to grow. I don't know whether most of the employees even have a proper college degree because if they had a competition with the room temperature in the IQ race, room temperature would have won hands down. The company keeps boasting that it is a 175 years old company and 4 US presidents worked for it they should be ashamed of the fact that despite being so old they have not grown yet, say thanks to the US that they set up the entire process and concept and you are enjoying on someone elses brainchild and hardwork. 75 months old start ups are doing great and earning 100x profit than this company. All the reviews talking about this company being good and gives work life balance etc and all is an inside job and employees are told to write reviews I had been told to give good ratings in the GPTW(Great Place To Work) Survey by my manager. They try to keep a good picture of the company. People who are saying "NO Cons" so far please get a life even companies like Google and Facebook are not perfect please dont try to fool the people who are thinking to join this company. Kindly be transparent. People play politics of the lowest level, they talk about each other. People rampantly comment on your attire and your appearance. They pass loose and dirty comments and if someone gets offended they say that it was done in good faith and HR tries to convince you that this company is like a family and you should take everything lightly but there is a limit. HR should come up with strong policies especially against those who are in the system since long time and try to bully the freshers or people on third party payroll. People use abusive language while having discussions and employees even have raised their hands on each other over petty issues, you can ask people about this if you manage to join this company. HR are blindfolded by the management and are their puppets they will only say Hello to you if they think you are under performing rest of the times they are busy in organizing Rangoli & Halloween. Late sitting in this company is seen as hard work, some managers stay at a distance of 1KM from office and expect people coming for far off places like Matunga, Badlapur, Mira Road etc to stay back late even if there are no deadlines, just to join them for late evening tea or coffee. Smartness is despised here and late sitting, wooing and sucking up to the management are considered as must have skills to survive in this company. I somehow survived for 2 years. Now I regret I wasted two important years in this company. People here are working for more than a decade yet cant write a simple one liner e-mail. Just because they joined in 90s the company thinks they are a gem and should be preserved like antiques in Musuems. No job role here require any amount of mental work, the company still works like a registrar office of the early 90s. Employees prefer to use same age old techniques even in the times where technology has evolved so much just because they are used to it and dislike a change. Coming to their products, the product prices are way to high and this company is known for doing shoddy jobs. Few of my current clients told me that they dealt with DnB in the past and had a horrible experience with the data they bought from this company. There is no sync between sales and operations team their egos are bigger than the goal of the company and they spare no chance to bring each other down.

Pros

None i can think of for Mumbai team of SER [Self-Evaluation Reports]

Cons

No feedback mechanism to new recruits; no proper organised training to new recruits; no receptiveness of my immediate bosses to ideas, suggestions regarding the content of reports and about new report product variants. No respect to value-addition to report-writing work. Openness to new ideas and suggestions for improvement-correction in report content is zero; middle level management work quality and knowledge quality is inferior and inadequate; Inadequate on-the-job training with very casual attitude; no proper organised training regarding the job profile to induct new recruits; no proper-formal-constructive feedback mechanism despite frequent follow-ups with immediate bosses for the same.

Pros

There is a lot to learn at D&B, opportunities to grow are also present. The processes are good, the profiles are great, the people too are helpful

Cons

Honestly I think when you work at D&B you have to be ready to put in all your hours cause they will demand it

Pros

-Decent management, new CEO for india has good vision -Undergoing a transformation plan that might bring out some good results

Cons

- Most of the work is glorified data entry, but the analyst's egos are boosted to the max so they believe they are the smartest in the world. - A lot of uneducated, rude employees make the working environment unbearable. - If you are starting off or working in a beginner level role, you can expect a lot of hate from complete idiots just because of them being one level above you. - Negligible amount of mental effort is needed to work in some departments, yet staying late is encouraged especially at the end of the month. This is due to the fact that someone in the chain of command is too lazy to do his work, slowing down the whole process. -No growth potential or career opportunities outside since you never learn new skills. -HR is extremely pathetic, they provide incorrect job descriptions, ignore emails from employees and are extremely slow in their response.
