Pros

- A wonderful bunch of young and enthusiastic kids out of college willing to work. - Approachable global leaders - New CEO is energetic and the future looks prosperous - Free beverage in the pantry

Cons

The management is thoroughly unprofessional and largely serve in the operations function without any knowledge of compliance. It is utterly frustrating that for every little issue, the concern is sended to the compliance team abroad to resolve because of severe lack of knowledge locally. There exists, rampant favoritism as individuals who are close to the management, despite having a poor track records for nearly half a decade, get recruited into the team and then given the space to work on certain key highlights for days without accountability, while undermining the rest of the hard working individuals and questioning their productivity and negating their findings. This is done to increase their visibility in front of the top management at the cost of others. The incompetent individuals walk around like they own the place since they know the gurgaon management. Repetitive and pointless meetings without no outcome. The meetings with the "favorites" are the only ones which last for hours and are done with the aim to highlight their work. Close friends are hired by the management to report to them and be spineless mules. They in turn hire more people they personally know. Leaky roof is a real concern and the infrastructure is very bad.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
