LinkedIn and other sources say 7-8 people have left in the last 2 years...most of them associates. Nice one senior management coming here to defend themselves and marking all posts as trollish to hide the reality. Do something actually instead of living in denial and not take accountability.

Given that all these comments are within a span of one day, this may be malicious, but I will give it the benefit of doubt. But i will give some advice which will work at KCO and other places / practices.

If any junior is facing issues, please privately bring it up with the partners and ask that you not be outed to the team for bringing concerns. From what I know, the KCO partners are decent enough to give you that benefit. This advice should also work in every other competition practice, expect may be at ▮▮▮. Also not all partners are made equal, use your brains before approaching.

In your discussion, bring specific examples which you think were wrong and should not have happened or what you think can happen better. Targeted feedback will help the partners address issues. If you are not comfortable bringing it up with the partners in general and feel you will be targeted, speak with someone you trust. In KCO you can consider speaking to Anshuman one-on-one. Of what I know of Anshuman, he is a super standup guy. Every firm have a few decent guys who would be willing to help you. Other examples being Harman in SAM, Bharat / Toshit in AZB, Dhruv / Vijay in CAM, etc.

No workplace is good or bad in perpetuity. This KCO team is quite small compared to its peers and they have a tremendous amount of work. In these circumstances, people tend to behave badly, but that is no excuse. Bring issues up, so solutions can be brought forward.

Don't expect people / seniors to notice issues that are affecting you on their own, that never happens in any workplace. Even if you think toxicity is apparent, it may be apparent to you but not to others. Everyone, including partners, is busy with their own set of issues and toxicity.

Once you have brought forward an issue, give a few months before you expect improvements. Nothing changes overnight. Even for seniors, it takes a lot of time to make folks break / change habit. Even where partners need to change, they need time to break habits - even when they are entirely aware that change is needed. Change is hard.

When you bring issues, it is entirely possible that partners wont agree to your assessment of the situation. What you feel as toxicity or wrong, may not be the case. As juniors, you may not have enough experience or context to assess all behavior. Most people think they are victims in a situation, but often that is not the case. People always tend to look at their agony through rose tinted glasses. If you bring an issue with a partner, please keep an open mind. If may very well be possible that the issue lies with you or with you and the third person.

Finally, you may not just be a fit in a team. Don't be afraid to leave and go elsewhere. Not all workplaces are meant for everyone.

Before you make yourself the sacrificial lamb, as suggested above ^ please think of a viable exit strategy, it is highly likely that you might be silently made to quit. Think of yourself first. Don’t get involved in team politics unnecessarily. Juniors are the first one to get sacked. All these partners are just firm's slaves at the end of the day, and they will protect themselves before thinking about you. Be skeptical, it will help you survive in this profession .
