Pros

Cabs and Meal is provided

Cons

Lots of cons. If you're comfortable with a "YES BOSS" culture and blindly following orders, you may survive here for a long time. Otherwise, experience, expertise, and professional background carry little value. Any attempt to provide advice, challenge decisions, or suggest improvements feels unwelcome. Leadership does not appear to encourage active listening. Expectations are heavily one-sided: employees are expected to follow instructions without question, while their own opinions, suggestions, and professional insights are largely ignored. The management structure is another major concern. Recent management changes, particularly the addition of people from Aditi, seem to have completely changed the work environment, and not for the better. There appears to be clear favoritism in role allocation. If you come from Aditi Consulting, a management role somehow becomes achievable regardless of circumstances. If not, previous leadership experience, years of managing teams, or lead-level responsibilities seem to carry very little weight, and you're likely to be pushed into a recruiter position. Client relationships are also extremely weak. Recruiters are expected to endlessly push submissions with little strategic direction or value, while actual client engagement and ownership seem almost non-existent. The expectation is volume over quality. Unsurprisingly, recruiters struggle to get responses because client-side relationships are poorly managed. The CSM function feels ineffective, with little visible client hold, relationship management, or partnership strength in place.

Pros

They are smaller, so upwards growth is possible.

Cons

Incredibly bad leadership at the account and business line level. Employee talent is subpar at best. Lots of people coming from outside industy that are expected to be trained on the job, this jeopardizes client progress and relationships. Additionally, due to their silos, each business line competes with each other, sometimes on the same account. For example, PMO is not in the corner or in support of the Agile Transformation side. Lots of head butting between PMs and Agile Transformation leaders.
