Frost & Sullivan Reviews

Pros

A great place to learn. Besides the information that you have access to, there are some quality people around that makes it all the more fun to work with. But the word 'quality' seel to be diminishing quite rapidly.

Cons

Well, compensataion is definiltly a problem. And moreso the management is always a leg up for denying you what deserve by citing reasons - which makes no sense more often than not . But thats how it is, either its their way or higway. A lot of disconnect between the departments. probably if they implement some of the best practices of doing things that they claim to know teach the whole world- they woud rather be way ahead of their competetion.

Advice to Senior Management

To be more humane and reduce on the dictatorial way of thrusting their opinion on people if not giving up on them.

Pros

Opportunity for job rotation, in order to find your best fit within the company.

Cons

Management should hear both sides of a story, instead of forming judgement based on one.

Pros

A lot of opportunities to work on several projects
friendly environment

Cons

Lack of analyst's integrity
Poor pay
Lack of structure

Advice to Senior Management

Try and develop the company for the long term, not the quick buck
Redevelop our website, its ridiculously complex
If you want the best analysts, raise your salary
Invest in some decent equipment (some PCs and ph Ive seen are hilarious from the 90s) to make your staff feel valued.
Change your mentality that you can easily replace analysts and consultants with cheaper international versions.

Pros

Wide exposure from different industries, nice and sincere colleagues, many opportunities to deal with clients, approachable team leader and a little flexibility while working.

Cons

Compensation package is not motivating enough; office facilities need to be improved

Pros

There is always room for promotions provided you are performing. Tough commission and comp plans but with great relationship wins and project wins, you can do well.

Cons

Too much internal red tape. Employee retention is an issue. Salary is way below standard in management level.

Advice to Senior Management

Look after your good people and listen to ideas that will work

Pros

Good work culture, everyonez chilled out except for the HR of the 7th Floor.

Cons

Guyz cmon, dont you think its outta fashion - signing the registers for in-time and out time.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more aggressive about expanding. And the salaries are hopeless, please compare our salaries with what others with similar work profiles offer, and maybe then you would know the reason for the extremely high levels of attrition

Pros

- On the very basic level it's ok - salary is paid on time, office is nice and in good location
- Some middle-level managers are competent and good to work with
- International projects

Cons

- Very high turnover, good people leave the company after they see they have no real opportunities;
- Company requests lots of flexibility in terms of working hours, but it is not flexible at all on its side;
- No bonuses, salary rise is very difficult to get;
- Very inneficient project management system
- Very slow, complicated and inefficient processes
- Human resources management comes down to controlling employees;
- No carreer paths, no external trainings, no talent management;
- Very poor ICT infrastructure

Advice to Senior Management

I would recommend to get in touch with reality.

Pros

The people are actually really great but I can't think of too much else to justify writing twenty words on pros.

Cons

Quantity is valued over quantity, thumb-sucking is encouraged where information cannot be found legitimately.
Editing is frustratingly poor at their jobs.
There is little scope for a good candidate to progress through the ranks, this usually results in a premature exit and thus remaining staff that are promoted to senior management are relatively weak.
HQ is removed from the satellite offices and there is little transparency over the financial performance of an office.

Advice to Senior Management

Move towards the global practice of nurturing talent to ensure improvement and continuity. Furthermore, create something for employees to aspire to, such as a partnership structure. Develop an ethos where serving clients becomes the raison d'etre not merely the sale of as much content as possible.

Pros

Good commission potential, good challenging environment

Cons

Low base salary, and commission potential needs to be spelled out better during interviews

Pros

Colleagues within your group tend to be lovely, good firm to put on your resume as you are building it, access to a huge database (but you have to fight for what clients you want), can't think of anything else

Cons

It is impossible to get pay increases, they make excuses why you don't deserve a bonus or a pay increase but give increases to Sr. Management which does't help, they blow- off yearly reviews, HR is is tight with Sr. Management so you can't trust HR to resolve problems - they side with Sr. Management, No Training on Products or Services, poor technology to work with - email or CRM database and even telephones go down daily, poor leadership (if any).

Advice to Senior Management

Train your employees, respect your employees, lead by example.
