Vantaggi

Wonderful training, best of its kind Smart and friendly analysts excellent work-life balance, laid back environment, BUT IT ENDS THERE!

Svantaggi

Constant management changes with no direction India staff are treated like second-grade citizens. All the complex, good projects are meant only for the so called "developed country" staff, i.e. in London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Europe, USA etc. The India office is ONLY a support office, nothing more than that, despite having grads from LSE etc. A lot of incompetent people in management positions who actually don't deserve to be there, be it London, Singapore, New York or Gurgaon No respect for hierarchy and employee credentials and seniority Bizarre management changes, where your contemporary can get promoted above you and you can be made to report to them Tendency to pass on monotonous data management tasks to Gurgaon staff Steer clear of the Gurgaon office. If at all, join, learn as much as you can and leave after a year or so.

Vantaggi

Intelligent, fun and witty employees and generally a good work/life balance. The brand name is still good for now and attracts some interesting clients to work with.

Svantaggi

Management relies too much on the brand name of the Economist to both recruit employees and sell projects. However, only relying on the brand name is not sustainable in the future. Difficult work environment: management is short-sighted, with too much focus on short-term revenue targets and selling projects. Employees have no promotion cycles or tracks, receive little to no mentorship, and do not feel valued. There is no incentive for quality because employees do not get rewarded for good work nor face consequences for bad work. Instead, employees who are efficient and do their jobs well often have to pick up the slack from the rest.
