Pros

1. Really smart peers (specially those joining from campus; recruits fairly smart candidates from tier 1 B schools) 2. Autonomy given very early in career + exposure to clients

Cons

1. Horrible quality of work ( as many have pointed out its just copy paste from google); worse than backend of consulting firms 2. No respect for employees time or life outside work; additional work will keep piling up at all times and you will be expected to accommodate it within existing timelines 3. Falling hiring standards - Have started hiring from the randomest of MBA schools; quality of peers degrading sharply 4. No firm culture - Everyone works as an individual and there is no culture of team or firm; hardly any fun activities etc. 5. Extremely narrow exit options - If you are unable to quit within a year or two, you will be stuck 6. Bad leadership - managers will throw you under the bus to save their faces 7. Pay is ok but very less benefits/perks - Employees were given 9k to buy WFH furnitures 8. Promotions are based on how much you can pander to the leadership not your skills 9. Always short-staffed - crazy attrition; exiting people have to take up extra work

Pros

Working here across multiple roles has been a genuinely rewarding experience. One of the biggest strengths of the company is its culture as people are approachable, collaborative, and there’s very little hierarchy in the way teams interact. It’s one of those rare workplaces where you can reach out to almost anyone across levels, including the CEO, and actually have meaningful conversations without layers of bureaucracy in between. Leadership, in my experience, has always had the right intent and genuinely wants employees to succeed. The company gives you a lot of ownership early on, which can be both challenging and exciting depending on what you’re looking for in your career. If you’re someone who enjoys learning, building relationships, and taking initiative, there are plenty of opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. Another thing I’ve appreciated is the exposure. You get opportunities to work closely with internal stakeholders and clients, build strong relationships, and contribute beyond just your defined role. People who are proactive are usually recognized and trusted with bigger responsibilities fairly quickly. Overall, it’s a great place for people who want to learn, grow, build strong professional relationships, and be nurtured in an entrepreneurial environment where proactiveness and ownership are valued.

Cons

The industry itself is going through a major shift right now, and naturally some work areas and expectations are evolving along with it. The environment can sometimes feel demanding because the company expects employees to stay adaptable, motivated, and continuously innovate. You need to have a go-getter mindset, be comfortable with change, and be willing to take ownership instead of waiting for direction at every step.
