Frequent management reorgs

Pros

Great technology and products Technical staff is very knowledgeable - many are experts in the field Excellent salaries and benefits

Cons

Company is in a constant state of reorganization - leaders changing and org charts being redrawn every 3-4 months. Reorgs seem to do little other than rearrange the chairs. Paralyzed by consensus decision making and many believing they can ignore direction until it is changed to suit their liking. Management afraid to lead - more worried about being liked than leading Uneven application of technology - some areas are very backward in their application of technology

Pros

Reputed company with many ace products under their belt.

Cons

India location work culture and work life balance is not comparable to other offices. Managers are more busy playing cheap politics rather than encouraging a productive environment. There is no flexible timings or work from home facility for employees. Pantry, AC and other necessities are shut down post 6 pm, but managers still expect people to work late hours.

Diversity doesn't bother the Company

Pros

Good Benefits and Welfare but pay is below average for non R&D.

Cons

While the company emphasize "diversity" on one hand, the company retrenched employees during Chinese New Year and D&D on the other hand. Being an MNC, the company did not care about the diversity of the employees and how much CNY means to the Chinese. Announcing the new of retrenchment before CNY and officially communicating to the impacted employees during the week after CNY had totally ruined the CNY of Chinese. Impacted employees are not treated with respect and dignity. 1 of the employees are devastated and requested to return later in the day to pack her stuff, but this request was being rejected by the rep of the company and she was sent out immediately after the communication. The company is very much driven in a way of a particular nationality, instead of doing things right the first time, they often like to trial and error although the solution is obvious. Completing task in 10 steps rather and 3 steps. They only care about the outcome, but the work smart procedure or straight to the point. Perhaps this aid to increase employment rate, hiring 5 person to do 3 persons' job.
