Little time flexibility and no home office option, making difficult to balanced professional and private life. - Working environment looks like from the 60s. If the noise of the factory was not enough, rooms are packed with more than 50 people working together speaking loud. Old furniture, horrible chairs and tables. Dirty bathrooms. - Incompetent people hardly is fired affecting others motivation in being productivity. Performance evaluation is worthless and the company does not know how to retain talents. - Archaic and Bureaucratic business processes. - They told you the company is global, but it's not. They don't stimulate international exchange between units. Sites are all segregated. - Horrible food in cafeteria and lunch refectory. No option to have a decent lunch nearby most units. - HR is a joke. Very poor communication. - The company offers transportation, but it is not air conditioned. Buses are ridiculously hot especially in summer days (temperature is like 32ºC or 90ºF most of time).
