Well how would I start.
From the top senior management to the manager, culture is totally corrupt & selfish.
2 parameters:
1. Culture: There's no culture to be honest. This team was setup with own personal agenda of 3,4 people for their personal growth. They expanded team by getting themselves promoted within a duration 6-8 months while in whole Landmark people get promoted from 1 design. to other in min. span of 2 years. They made their analyst slog for 14+ hours a day to achieve their personal objectives and take full credit. We are asked to slog and even work on Sunday's just because its a working day in Dubai. We are made to work 6 days in a week. No company culture exists except the fact that if your working for 13+ hours you are regarded as a "FIGHTER". Thats what they call you :D
2. Work/Analytics : Have you ever created a Demand forecasting model in 1 week for 500Mn Dollar client? Have you? Well when you join you are given this target. Create a full fledged solution in 1week and work your life off. They boast about their advanced analytics but in the end you get to work on SAS :D while the whole world is moving to R. No one cares about the fact if your model is statistically correct. All what matters is are you a "FIGHTER". Did you sit in office after 10pm?
This team is taking the company for a toss. Managerial experience lacks analytical experience and everyone plans to leave this team in next 1 year. Team credibility is down infront of other Business and no1 wants to take up projects with Analytics team. They recruit by luring people that you will get to work in Dubai based on your performance in Bangalore team.
Thats what they lured me into. BEWARE this is a SCAM. If you end up in Dubai your life will no longer be yours but it will be their. You are paid in Dirhams and the outputs they will get out of you will be DOLLARS.
Before joining please make sure that you have thought through about this place. For personal and both professional growth this is not a good place to be. This team is driven more by Organisation politics and to top it off by their own favouritism of internal employees who are SUPER LOYAL to the managers.
PS: Managers also share their personal lives on WhatsApp group. That means they don't have one to be honest.
