Pros
The peer group is good but they are completely ruined by this company. Every employee (except the management of course) is frustrated, depressed, mentally disturbed by the toxic environment created in this company, especially by the CEO. You can just hear people waiting for a chance to leave.
Cons
TLDR 1. Work - They claim time to be doing cutting edge “data science” work; but there are less than 5% of projects that involve any data science, rest projects include all trivial back office work that the clients do not want to do. Just 1 manager of the few there are actually have any experience in data science. Most clients give their important projects to top Analytics consulting firms and all the remaining unimportant projects are given to this company. 2. HR - Simply put there is no HR policy in this company. Even basic HR provisions like sick leaves aren’t available, they will or will not let you take a leave depending on the management’s (read COO) wish, irrespective of how tough your situation is. 3. Extremely toxic work environment- There is extreme bias and favouritism by the CEO and COO and you simply can’t grow at all in this firm based on your work. This COO has personally created extremely depressing environment for many employees she doesn’t “like” and forced them to leave. 4. Attrition- Extreme attrition because of this, people who have been laterally hired leave within 3-4 months because they have seen what other workplaces look like and this is workplace is NOT NORMAL at all. Just freshers who do not know what normal working practices are in other firms fall into this trap. Even out of them, graduates from top colleges like IITs who are not in the “good books” of management are fired within 3 months. >40% of fresh hires for one of the batches were fired within 3 months; which happens in no company (ask around if you don’t trust this ) 5. Exit opportunities- Because of poor quality of work and 3 months notice period (again which hardly any company has) it is extremely difficult to leave this firm with a good exit opportunity too. Freshers, no company will wait for your 3 months notice to end, most companies want you to join within 2 months max. 6. Post exit - no system, no HR to ensure that you even get the basic exit documents (which are extremely important for higher studies, job switch). Sometimes they’ll even block your exit documents on purpose to frustrate you even after you leave the firm. Still don’t think you can trust that review - 1. Read all reviews on glassdoor, see what maximum of the reviews are saying 2. This company was established 10 years back, has only ~ 60 employees and < 10 managers even after being a regular at campus placements, decide for yourself what this implies 3. Ask around if you can find employees who have been in this company for > 3 years, you’ll know what this means Placement committees do not give this company an initial slot, or even a slot rather. You are literally RUINING the career’s of bright students. Aspirants especially freshers, read ALL the reviews and talk to ex- employees before even thinking about joining this company.
