Good to start your career. Progression and mentorship is a crapshoot. WLB is nonexistent. Uninspiring leadership.
Pros
Excellent opportunity to begin your career with. Client-facing roles are a good way to learn stakeholder management. Colleagues are generally great people and the environment is fun. Used to provide fairly alright catering. Rare chance to work with some extremely talented people (most of the ones I knew have since then left the company).
Cons
No structured career progression. Mostly dependent on your boss quitting and then you get their role. Lack of benefits (e.g. no provident fund/company-sponsored insurance/profit sharing for all) Work-life balance is non-existent for quite a few projects and teams. Some accounts/projects become stale, boring, uninteresting, and can get you stuck in your career. Management and Sales try to meddle without enough context and make matters worse. While Management does recognize good employees most of the time, they also praise some employees who are "Yes-men/women" who satisfy their every whim. I don't blame those people for using whatever tactic they deem best suited for them, but I would expect Management to see through that instead of holding that in high regard. This has long-term consequences on morale and especially how Sales treats some employees who are not taking it.
