New Delhi (India)

Current Employee – been working at Grail Research full-time for more than 3 years

ProsSome project experience and exposure can be really good. Clients are top shot. Some of the demanding projects and collaboration with Monitor makes you love or hate the industry

ConsThe senior management lives by their whims and fancies. Careers are dependent as much on them. An organization where you want to move right, talk right, as they are watching. Funny comments plenty in review appraisals.

Advice to Senior ManagementSo fluid that you dont know what you stand for. There is so much change that keeps on happening.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
