Pros

- Fair HR compensation - Good employee benefit

Cons

- Management works toward short term goal, rather than focus on total company profit and gain. - Employee’s appraisal rating based on favouratism and seniority rather than performances. Unfairness discouraging its people to excel / contribute towards company. - Most of the leads are old timer / management’s all time favourite, which lack of exposure and leadership skills to guide or groom subordinates.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
