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.

Cons

1) They hire you at decent package but increment is less than 7 percent even if you are top rated employee (For Kolkata Division) 2) To get an average rating too you have to work 13-14 Hours a day 3) One of their criteria to hire in Kolkata is to hire those who have some kind of reason to stay in Kolkata 4) Lots and lots of Politics 5) Preference to people who can butter senior management 6) Non of the senior management is from good MBA college 7) Attrition of More than 40 percent (Till Mid Senior Level) 8) Lies to Client regarding resource skills and experience 9) Number of senior employees (who sit and order) more than number of Junior employees 10) They give you shares and take it back when you leave 11) Every year increment is low around 2-5 % stating that profit has decreased, still Dividend amount keeps on increasing 12) Future of company is dark as all profit is distributed by way of Dividends and no expense on Training and Development and no expense on using new technology in research 13) You will get half salary what your peers get in few years 14) People get divorced, sick, stay unmarried because of work load 15) Management interferes in personal life of its employees and are kind of Agony aunts 16) Shady offices in shady areas
