Pros
Good for early career joiners, significant benefits compared to other local companies, fairly healthy overall team culture for day-to-day interactions, hybrid work options, overseas travel opportunities for some.
Cons
- Yes man leadership - Dissent is discouraged, fostering a "yes-man" culture in leadership. - Weak management - Many upper level leaders were promoted because of tenure and have significant lack experience or training in the area they were promoted to. Low to Mid-level managers are promoted without any managerial training and has led to mediocre or poor management. Managerial support and advocacy for employees is rare, with self-preservation seeming to take priority. - Limited career growth - Few opportunities for advancement or skill development due to way the team is structured. - Below-market pay - Salaries, especially for recent hires, are not competitive. - Inconsistent performance reviews - The evaluation system is vague and applied inconsistently, with little accountability. - Layoffs - Despite revenue gains and prior promises to never have layoffs, layoffs occurred without clear, transparent communication to the global team. Individuals are paying the price for a bloated headcount or business decisions that weren't their fault. - AI expectations - Employees are expected to increase output by 30% due to AI tools while seeing that people are being laid off.
