Pros

The variety of tasks and studies that you get to work on in initial year. Super supportive support staffs

Cons

If you are ready to give up on your life and if you are thrilled to work with the most unreasonable people in the world, then this is the place to be. From an organisation, where learning was promoted and ideas where appreciated; IMRB has managed to become a place where machines are trained. Forget about incentive, even expecting a slight appreciation from seniors is "too much of an expectation". Even when the entire team has changed with extremely incompetent people in less than a year, the management feels 'it is not easy to get job anywhere outside IMRB". The endless amount of negativity kills a person. Only powerful people are those who started their career from IMRB; and will sure suck outside this organisation. A private company which looks more like a proprietorship. • No work-life balance • No appreciation • Too much of data fudging • No humanity • Poor Hike • Extremely stressful job, pressure • Too timid while dealing with clients • People not treated as resource

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.
