Pros

Immense scope for learning. This is the university of market research in India. It is THE company to start with if you are interested in market research as a career. Exposure to various categories of FMCG research & a wide range of cutting edge research methodologies is a major plus point. Also, getting to work with the people who developed those methodologies is an added kick.

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance. Extreme work pressure exists almost continuously.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
