Pros

Flexible working hours, a supportive and professional HR team, and a friendly, open-minded management team that welcomes new ideas.

Cons

A key member of the C-suite has been the main source of internal conflict, primarily due to hiring former colleagues without proven track records, which has created clear concerns of nepotism. Although he presents himself as an empathetic leader, his actions suggest otherwise and have eroded the environment for many who are genuinely committed to the organisation. There have been ongoing concerns regarding this individual’s leadership approach. Many times, he created tension within his own team by fostering unnecessary competition among those reporting to him, gradually shifting the division’s atmosphere from how it was before his arrival. More recently, another situation has raised questions: the appointment of a senior executive to oversee the China market—someone who reportedly performed badly at the previous organisation. While they had worked together for many years in an earlier company, the decision appears driven more by personal ties than merit. This group of closely aligned hires seems intent on centralising influence within the organisation, yet some decisions made lack strategic foresight and do not consider the long-term repercussions. When these decisions lead to negative outcomes, accountability is often redirected elsewhere, leaving others to face the consequences.
