Decent Family Business - Anonymous employee BP de Silva Employee Review

The choice of colleagues is sensitive to the cultural fit so I work well with most of my peers at work. I get satisfaction from how I can learn new things and also apply my creativity with autonomy.

It’s sometimes a challenge to balance the new ways of working given the heritage of the company. We can be more open minded in some areas.

A family-like culture among staff that makes newcomers feel welcomed and at ease. Understanding bosses who coach and guide their team as well as letting them have many opportunities to explore and grow on their own accord. Lots of opportunities to interact with C-level executives and business owners.

Being an old family business, there are very little bold ideas stemming from the upper reaches of management. There are quite a lot of uncertainty surrounding the direction the company wishes to head, which can lead to one feeling like a huge missed opportunity and an untapped latent potential.
