Vantaggi
- Strong exposure to big brand name clients and stakeholders in the industry and opportunity to work on high-impact projects - Exposure to new thinking and technologies that can help clients and enhance skills - Vast opportunities across the org. Opportunity to pursue varied roles (provided your manager lets you) - Opportunities to take ownership on high visibility campaigns - Significant learning potential for those who are proactive - Opportunity to see cross functional teams work together to land projects at a massive scale - Exciting and fast paced (if you set clear boundaries)
Svantaggi
- Leadership experiences can vary significantly depending on the team and reporting structure. Senior leaders often make it there by being harsh task masters rather than true people and human leaders - Ambiguous promotion criteria. Poor people leaders get promoted, sometimes over strong candidates with proven impact through human-led and empathetic team leadership - The culture tends to reward high ownership and the ability to take on a very heavy workload independently, which can create substantial pressure during busy periods and leads eventually to burnout - Depending on the team, performance reviews often seem tokenistic, lacking structured coaching and regular developmental feedback that is actually useful - Rapidly changing expectations from employees, without proper training and support offered on the softer aspects of how work needs to get done - Significantly lower pay vs. comparable roles in similar orgs - (in the Mumbai office) Vast open office space leading to an excessively disruptive office environment - more sensitive and mindful candidates may severely struggle - Poor office etiquette as it pertains to basic courtesy in terms of respecting each other's space, and cleanliness - Repeat offenders with clear POSH and employee complaints, reprimanded lightly as a checkbox. No real impact on their status as a leader and their progress within the org
