Incompetent managers.
No scope for learning and development.
Biased review system.
Dated technology.

Millions of best practice research but the irony is none is implemented within the organisation.

and I can go on...

Advice to Senior Management

Implement the best practices within the organisation.
Hire people with good management skills. Do look beyond their top ranked degrees, in terms of experience and knowledge.

Pros

Interesting place, good for fresh graduates, best if you get placed in right verticals, compensation very competitive, good culture

Cons

do not work themselves on models or analysis, only produce reports on best practices to be adopted by the companies. you have to be able to placed in the right vertical to be able to proceed rightly in your career ahead.

Advice to Senior Management

Needs to be more competitive

Pros

Full points for work-life balance
Smart people to work with
Transparency in systems
Employee opinions counted
Strong reward and recognition systems

Cons

Job roles not challenging enough
Not enough scope for client interaction
The senior management seems lost about whats happening in company
Not enough opportunity for rotation to different global offices

Advice to Senior Management

Excessive decentralization is not taking the company anywhere

Pros

If you're fresh out of college, undecided about your future, and in no rush to get on with your life, it's a good place to just 'hang out' at an entry-level position. Also, if you have a few years of experience in consulting or operations, and are looking for a 9-to-5 and a reasonable paycheck at a mid-managerial position, this is a perfect place for you.

Cons

Research roles are not very challenging at all - if you have a bachelors degree, you are perhaps over-prepared for the role. Account management positions are a good opportunity to interact with C-level executives, but due to the nature of the 'product' being sold, they are not as exciting as traditional consulting roles.

Advice to Senior Management

You guys are doing a great job, the business model is highly sustainable, although there doesn't seem much scope for growth any more - wait for a favorable quarter, and sell your stock on any upswing.
