Business Outlook

Pros

1) A multi-cultural working environment. 2) Regular interaction with colleagues from around the world via presentations, seminars.etc. 3) Certain departments are well managed and sophisticated.

Cons

Since I was working in the India Office. my view are solely expressed from the experience I received there. 1) Extremely poor monetary compensation. No correlation between your skills and what you are paid. 2) Rampant politics in office. 3) Talent is not valued. 4) In the Marketing team our core project was executed in a highly illogical fashion. The senior management in this department do not know the ground realities of the country and implement policies that are something akin to " pie in the sky".
