Pros

The salary is decent, bonuses can be large, and most colleagues are hardworking, driven, and willing to help.

Cons

-Salary Doesn't Justify the Hours: While the base pay may seem attractive, it doesn't truly compensate for the extremely long hours and personal sacrifices required. -Work-Life Balance Is Poor: Expect to work nights and weekends regularly. Burnout is common, and time for personal life is minimal. -Biased Appraisals: Promotions and firings are heavily influenced by MDs, often based on personal bias rather than merit or performance. Pushing back on leadership can lead to sudden termination. -Cold, Self-Serving Culture: There’s a noticeable lack of empathy in leadership. Communication is often poor, and the culture rewards self-promotion over teamwork. -Lack of Diversity: Senior levels remain overwhelmingly non-diverse in gender, LGBTQI+, and background.

Pros

Few folks /peers, they were fantastic. The perks and benefits were also fine, and I was fine satisfied with my salary. Most of the time, I was travelling for work to meet clients all around the globe. It was draining at times, but it was also good because you get to travel. In my humble opinion, the CEO was one of the best I have ever seen, but now it has changed to co-CEOs and so far, they are okay.

Cons

To be very, very honest, boss, the management above me was not up to the mark. They seemed nice initially, but were completely out of touch with the actual work we were doing. I've never worked at a place where people were so quick to point fingers because everyone was so scared of making even a small mistake. The stress here is simply not worth it. Nothing seems to run smoothly.
