Pros

Good office and infrastructure , every one gets a Mac to work on, a few Gems for Clients.

Cons

Lack of culture, utterly mismanaged, least wpp like company in the group. (SEA & India). Nightmare for vendors. No focus. Highly over priced for clients and a distinct lack of genuineness to internal and external stakeholders alike, top heavy , autocratic and over confident for no reason atleast in India.

Business outlook

Pros

Pay is slightly higher than the market. Caution: They hire employees with higher package and lay them off.

Cons

* They will hire and layoff employees at a scale (NO JOB SECURITY especially in India) * Lot of layoffs going on and they do it in batch wise to make sure it doesn't comes out to social media. They have a worst separation policy which favors only the company not the employees. * HRs will come up with their own documents, call them policies and will enforce the employees to adhere. * They will crush the employees and make * No career growth and learning curve at all.

Pros

Not at all good company in India, everyone leading it from SG. They are thinking we are labour only. They just making full to their clients... Ford is one of them. They don't have work scene, only believe to Butler's only.

Cons

They are very efficient to make full to clients or anyone. If they require they hire in bundle after that they fire. SG team are frod at work place.
