Pros

Free access to Udemy - you can keep upskilling yourself

Cons

Besides free Udemy access, everything is a con. No work-life balance. The management simply does not want or expect you to have it. You are expected to work so hard, not only for the client but also contribute in internal forums and do other internal work also, which is also for the client but you are not supposed to tell the client LOL No hikes in the last two years Promotion is extremely difficult - The first thing they will ask when you ask for promotion is - Have you given any spotlight sessions? All the hard work and value that you add to the client and to the team is not even considered. But isn't that what is running the company? - Not these stupid spotlight sessions which are complete show-offs and an extra burden to the employee. Another major disadvantage for Data Analytics people if you are in Bengaluru is that the big Capability politician who approves the promotions is sitting in Gurgaon and promotes only those who maybe butter her everyday. And just like Whatsapp university, the Capability has its own Teams university, which is quite annoying, irritating, distracting for the people who actually do the work. This university is also run mainly by some good for nothing management people - And they keep cluttering it with some unnecessary things to burden you.

Pros

Organized Clear promotion structure DEI friendly + company orgs to join Good pay, benefits, location You're connected to mentors

Cons

Client placement may take a while Lots of training on basic things from my university courses, while they're very beginner friendly, it didn't feel like the best use of my time Worked on a toy project instead of introductions to real world impact projects. You're evaluated more on your ability to network, build relationships, and visibility (which is important when working with clients) as opposed to technical skills - the assumption is that the training they offer will get you up to par In hindsight, there were a lot of unwritten rules that caught me off guard in terms of networking and performance requirements, so the lack of a return offer blindsided me. DEI was huge in 2022 but wasn't genuine and had double standards. They mentioned holding "safe spaces" to speak, but it was not *really* safe and you're still speaking in a corporate place with unspoken professional world rules. Ifykyk.
