Pros

Some good colleagues. Most left.

Cons

Good/Experienced people get demoralized and leave as soon as possible because of poor middle management. Appraisals and performance reviews don’t mean much for career growth. Incompetent people stay for promotions and get promoted for being friends with their manager. People promoted to management without training because of years in the company. Hostile work environment and stressful situations are common in some groups with high turn over.

Pros

The company offers good pay and benefits. I also had the chance to work with many capable and supportive peers at the same level, which made the day-to-day work more manageable.

Cons

The work environment can feel highly political. The system tends to encourage people to compete or protect themselves instead of collaborating and helping each other succeed. This often creates unnecessary tension between teams and individuals. Local management also needs significant improvement. Instead of helping remove roadblocks and making the work more efficient, they often add extra processes, tasks, and requirements that do not always contribute to the real goal: improving quality and getting meaningful work done. There is a lot of focus on activities that look good on paper, but not enough support for the actual work needed to ensure quality and execution.
