Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working here is the opportunity to learn beyond your core role. You'll gain hands-on exposure to different areas of the business, helping you build diverse skills and grow both personally and professionally.

Cons

The management is completely dysfunctional. Most managers have no clear plan, structure, or understanding of how to effectively lead their teams. Decisions are often reactive rather than strategic, creating confusion and frustration across the organization. The biggest issue is the lack of trust and transparency. Employees are encouraged to provide feedback with promises of confidentiality, but the moment someone shares honest criticism, management seems to take it personally and starts looking for ways to target that individual. Instead of addressing the feedback, the focus shifts to silencing the person who raised it. The culture rewards people who simply agree with everything and avoid challenging the status quo. Independent thinking and honest opinions are not welcomed. Those who speak up are often viewed as a problem rather than as contributors trying to improve the organization. There are also individuals within the organization who actively create divisions and politics, including attempts to create rifts based on religion and personal differences. Management either fails to address these issues or chooses to ignore them, allowing a toxic environment to persist. Overall, the organization has significant issues with leadership, accountability, transparency, and workplace culture. Until these are addressed, employee trust and morale will continue to suffer.
