Pros

Very process oriented, casual clothing, everyone is very approachable

Cons

- sr managers have a very negative mindset. they will not remember the good work but will definitely latch on to one work which was missed. - tooooooooo much meetings. I became a ppt specialist..... - extremely trade focused. - 80% time is spent on strategy & 20% on execution. It should be the other way round. - When a strategy is made, be patient & wait for it to yield results. Dont panic at the first sign of less sales. - NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. In the first 6 months of my joining, i would have rarely enjoyed a Sunday (leave alone a saturday). Worse your SLM expected such long hours.
