Pros

Overall it’s a good company, very profitable and successful

Cons

Depending on luck, one can get very toxic and incompetent managers and supervisors. When the manager’s incompetence starts to impact projects, they quickly blame it on the external consultants and try to ruin the reputation of the consultants so that they can get away with their incompetence and spend as many years as possible in the job until they reach retirement. They hold to their desk chair for life, even when they are creating zero value, on the contrary. When consultants raise complaints, they try to black list the consultant to cover everything up. They also try to overwork and disrespect teams in India due to lack of labor regulations. Truly unethical. Dishonesty, incompetence and corruption is very prevalent in some departments where employees do not need strong skills to do the job, such as Global Regulatory Affairs for example. Completely run by office politics.

Pros

Car allowances, benefits are standard.

Cons

The worst toxic culture ever. Politics, VPs are from cosmos, with some great people, but my boss was and American lady, who had constantly issues with everyone. I cannot believe how she got this job, but such toxic person poisons the whole department. I quit my job because of her style. I regret i have not recorded my meetings with her....

Pros

Owns a portfolio of well known brands

Cons

No performance accountability across functions, which leads to poor work quality and neverending delays No training or performance reviews to ensure employees deliver quality work on time, know what they're doing, and operate with common sense. Delays and screwups occur at every turn because of this --- even HR can't set up your pay slips correctly, leading to unnecessary headaches in addition to the work you already do Conservative, backwards policies that haven't been updated for the modern market---pushing company to be non-competitive No drive to uncover what's wrong or or improve --- just constant unproductive toxic positivity that reinforces bad behavior
