Pros

Exposure to a great network. Great work atmosphere. The location of the office is convenient and helps in organising meetings and getting to and from the airport for extensive travelling that is required.

Cons

Better definition of roles required. Better work/ life balance require. Better accountability. I believe the analyst role and the amount of the companies being analysed is not properly tracked.

Pros

The people are great to work with at all levels from R&D, support functions like Demand Planning and Finance to Sales and Marketing. There are ample opportunity given to training and development. While workload can be heavier in some functions compared to others, I would say that it is manageable for most. Office environment is conducive to work in and politics though present is not overwhelming and obvious.

Cons

Meetings tend to run longer than necessary which is unproductive. There can be more cross functional collaboration. Senior managers and HODs might stay long in the company despite their capability, jeopardizing potential mid level staff's career profession.
