Pros

1.Nice infrastructure 2.Free food at times

Cons

There's a big list here and you must go through each of the items before you join: 1.This is a market research company and not an IT company(don't think you will become data analyst or something here) 2.The work here is not at all IT/software related.They train and make you work on a tool by IBM i.e. dimensions that no one is using in the market even IBM itself has stopped updating the tool years ago. 3.They make you work in shifts without considering any of your health issues.They try covering it up by saying we provide high allowance.Like really an Employee friendly company asking people to neglect critical health issues for allowances?? 4.HR's here are rubbish,they just sugar coat the things and are partial as hell. 5.Politics-Just talk about it,and you will find it on every level here. 6.Zero work life balance. Shift Timings :a.10:30 am-7:30 pm b.1pm-10pm c.7:30pm -4:30 am And no work from home policy.It's only allowed for senior members 😂 7.They make fresher's sign a huge bond amount and treat them like slaves on low pay. 8.Promotions take years to happen. 9.salary hikes are like peanut chunks.

Pros

Hard working associates, mostly bright (and admirable) heads of department. Good benefits. Previous CEO seemed like a genuinely nice guy and would listen to you if you approached him about something.

Cons

There’s a lot of reasons why top notch talent has long jumped ship. Great at sounding smart…terrible at actually getting the revenue to avoid the wholesale data asset sell offs going on. Terribly overcomplicated product portfolios with inflexible solutions at higher costs than smaller leading agencies that have outpaced them. Department heads gaslighting everyone under VPs about performance when they aren’t winning the internal Hunger Games and are told to reduce headcount.
