Anyone working at ProcDNA ?

I've heard negative reviews about the company and wanted to get perspectives from current or former employees. One thing I've heard repeatedly is that company may be leveraging materials, frameworks and approaches commonly used at ZS Associates but delivering at lower cost.

How accurate is this perception ? what is the reality in terms of project quality, client work, leadership and growth ?

would appreciate honest feedback

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice
