Insider Information - Working at Frost & Sullivan
Not intending to defame the company in any way, here are a few workplace
survey excerpts that you might want to read while considering job opportunities.
These are paid links, but only the first sentence tells a lot about what employees
have to say!

Major Takeaways
Even though the purpose of this doc is not to help anyone form an opinion on
whether to join or not, but this is what I feel. (This comes as a result of basic
readings and informal sources)
1. Since the Financials of the company are not freely available, the major
takeaways were the employee surveys (The ‘Insider Information’ section).
According to friends that have joined the company, they say they’re paid
peanuts (Something in the range of 4-4.5K S$ a month, which I’m not sure
how many would find sufficing!
2. From what I have read and talked to people about, I feel for a fresh grad,
who doesn’t mind being made to work intensively in a manner not
desirable, Frost & Sullivan is a good company to start with. Also, for people
who are very keen on profiles, this might be a place, keeping other factors
out of mind.
