Things could be better, maybe 5G will help?

Construction manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and salary are good. Some good people too.

Cons

Management is pretty clueless and they don't have the guts or power to fix the situation we are in right now. Despite having a lot of work right now, we can't hire additional staff. In fact, quite the opposite is happening. We are working long hours and losing people (because maybe the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, or because management refuses to keep good people). Fear of layoffs is pretty high.

Good benefits, but poor experience

Business Outlook

Pros

Company offers competitive salary and good benefits

Cons

I felt there were many redundancies in my division, this is not only not productive but also hits the bottom line which in the mid and long term hurt morale and generate layoffs.

After years of mismanagement the company has lost all bearings

Master researcher

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is good. No pressure to deliver. An overall lazy pace with a lot of controls and checks. Large company with benefits.

Cons

Toxic environment. Many dead horse employees. Previous CEO has left with 4M$ and a legacy of corruption. No leadership. Arrogance at all levels. Incapacity to execute even on technological level within a company that claims to be an ICT leader. It is a sad place these days.
