Pros
Leaves are flexible if you want to take for 1-2 days. More days than that you might not be allowed. Learning curve is there but it comes with lots of abuses/shouting/public humiliation from the so called Associates. Sometimes if they don’t like you for their own reasons, they will not even assign you any work.
Cons
Shouting towards new Associates and interns from so called Senior Associate is normalised in this organisation with no support from senior management/partners. Work is not streamlined structurally, sometimes if we are working in the same project, the other older Associate gate-keeps the information from the other co Associates & the gatekeeper take credits for that & if they need to blame someone for the project they both worked on, they directly blame the new joinee or even the interns. Also the pay is extremely low, revision of salary & designation usually doesn’t happen at all. Inclusion & diversity is something they usually aren’t aware of as well. Negative gossiping, questionable remarks on work towards new joinee/interns by Older Associates is seen even after completion of work & image tarnishing by Senior Associate towards other colleagues is seen here. Also a biased culture is seen here. Anxiety is always at peak in everyone’s mind.
