Pros

- Great clients - Bright and hardworking team of executives and managers - Scope to learn new business pitches - Exposure to global teams (clients)

Cons

Do you value some semblance of peace of mind, satisfaction at work, and your health in the long run? Avoid joining PCA. With a leader running the show across multiple cities — with zero people management skills — and the backing of a leadership team, you'll lose your self-worth, confidence, and faith in your ability as a valuable worker (no matter how brilliant you think you are or can be). There's no point in confronting this leader. None in complaining to the HR either. There's literally no one in the organisation who can help you navigate your very real concerns about working under this person. You'll face tremendous anxiety because you'll find yourself justifying your position/stance to this person every single day. You'll get to bed with stinkers haunting you over email and wake up to a new batch in the mornings. There will be no work-life balance. You'll cry on your birthday, your anniversary, your vacation. The only bright side? You get to work on exciting clients with a fantastic team (who feel equally burnt out and bullied). If you're not okay with feeling small or insulted every day, you'd do better to avoid working under this team lead.
