Pros

People are incredibly helpful and create an amazing working environment. The systems are well-budgeted, and there’s exposure to large-scale projects, making it a great place to explore, learn, obtain certifications, and grow professionally. The office is well-equipped, with modern facilities and tools that support productivity.

Cons

However, performance reviews are poorly managed, often based on company strategies and plans rather than individual achievements. High performers can be let go despite their contributions, with promotions or salary increases given only if the company absolutely needs the employee. Management is unprofessional and lacks leadership, often demonstrating an old-school mindset with an uninnovative approach, which limits creativity and progress. Some team members in management struggle with foreign language skills, which hinders effective communication in a global context. The office has shifted from a multinational environment to being 90% local, which reduces diversity. Salariess are below market standard, and there’s a lack of trust in management. Promises are frequently broken, and employees face impossible goals seemingly designed to force them out. Unethical practices, such as canceling a well-deserved promotion due to unethical reasons.
