Pros

Fix 9 hour job - you rarely stay back although you can barely take breaks besides 1/2 hour of lunch Good culture - people in age group of 24-35 work in Gurgaon India office hence it is very college like culture there.

Cons

Very hard on giving you own earned leaves Your tap in and tap out is monitored along with breaks Admin women would point you on what you are wearing and send emails to manager re your attire Internal politics for promotions and better roles Extremely boring work - either you are recruiting every day or hiring consultants Major drawback - The HR of Gurgaon office had an attitude like of a CEO. I faced problems while leaving the firm and when I was relocating I needed a simple letter for my Visa, I had to email and ring the HR for ages.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

Good colleagues, arguably a good job post college (for like a year MAX)

Cons

I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. Spent 5 years there, and watched it go further downhill every year. You leave with only soft skills (if that), and 0 actual industry knowledge. Seriously, you leave only knowing a bunch of Hocus Pocus. I am really surprised this company hasn't been bought yet. Or merged. On my team alone, we lost 7 out of our 9 managers since January... either due to layoffs or them quitting. Pay is low. There are no bonuses and it's very difficult to get a raise. 90k in NYC is poverty. There are bright people that come in with Masters, and PhDs, and MBAs -- handing them 90k is insulting.
