To all Account/Project/Customer Success Managers, what is the best CRM for the job?

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
