Feeling Sad......

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

1. Great clients 2. Super ex-bosses & few fantastic peers who are friends for life 3. Nothing else

Cons

Where do I start from.......... 1. Lack of trust 2. No value for performance; what's valued is how big a gossip monger you are and if you can act as a spy to the MD 3. No empowerment to the location leadership team or 2nd levels. What matters is whether you are an "Yes" man or not. 4. No incentive/ bonus to high performers.....all money to MD's pocket! 5. Strategy is being made by some foolish support function folks who are nowhere close to become consultants 6. Client is not valued; whats valued is their cheque! 7. By name, we are People Business and hardly we value our people. Any new joiner is Gift of God to PB...and anyone who is contemplating for an alternate career is the biggest Devil you can ever come across! And moreover, overnight moral/ ethical cases crop up! What a coincidence!

Heaven for Sycophants, Gossipers, Piggybackers and Name droppers

Pros

1. Timely salary . It is paid on the last working day of the month 2. Good peer group (now all ex employees) which helped you grow. 3. Some good consulting work with best of the companies (who have since moved on due to talent drain in the firm across all locations)

Cons

1. This company is a good place for sycophants - you can survive/thrive for years without doing anything and still be promoted/recognized every year. All you have to do is be the "Yes Man" of national Leadership. So if you have this skill set, nothing like it. Expect a meteoric career here. 2. Second core skill that is essential is the ability to gossip and bicker - this is desired from peon to the national leadership level. This works wonders if you gossip with the national leaders as they keep ensuring that you are taken care off. 3. You need to be able to claim others work to be your own - the skill of copy pasting and presenting as your own is lauded here. The leadership daily claims to know who's who from each of the big companies .. just that they don't know our leaders ;) 4. The company owners and leaders keep on claiming about their supernatural powers and out of the world consulting knowledge as the key to success of the firm. The people who have helped this firm grow are not acknowledged or recognized. 5. Employees who ask questions or don't accept what the owners/ leaders say are punished in one of the other way. Every decision and action is questioned and criticised. 6. The marketing, business strategy and revenue targets of this company are revised on a regular (daily) basis and depends on the new/fancy words the decision makers come across.
