Pros

If you are someone who doesn't like to work and wants to get lazy, get paid, and work here.

Cons

Despite being branded as an MNC, there’s a lack of real process, structure, or transparency. The foreign leadership remains largely disconnected from on-ground national matters, leaving local teams to operate under an autocratic setup. The environment is dominated by a “boss-centric” culture where decisions— including terminations— are often arbitrary. If you’re someone who prefers to simply follow orders, agree with everything, and prioritize pleasing superiors to secure your position or promotion, this place might suit you. However, if you value integrity, innovation, independent thinking, and genuine leadership impact, this isn’t the right fit. Managers here have limited authority, operate under constant job insecurity, and face poor management both locally and globally.
