Pros

Interesting and wide project opportunities. Very good place to continue a career from consulting or other related service industry or as an external consultant. Company restaurant.

Cons

Very big benefits contrasts in between internal employees, internal communication to be enhanced Workload difference in between site locations Salary increases and benefits as a career starter are a joke

Pros

-Has very good impression & mature -The management concepts could engage passion -Good workplace to communicate with people in this world -People are great with positive passions -Good benefits

Cons

-Many beautiful concepts share to the employee about the opportunity to grow in the company, but in fact, it just a dream, means only dream. In the end, almost no opportunity to grow. Hard to growth for operators, technicians, or any on low position. -The company always looking for a new-hired employee for a higher position, not try to promoting or training the employee from the lower position to be ready as expected by management. -People on low position would not be prepared for a higher position. -Offered to be redirected to a job which matches to our passion, but in fact, no such a thing. The company will keep looking for a new "ready to use" employee from the outside. So, the opportunity will be fulfiled by the new-hired employee. -Not recommended for career growth. But might be recommended for a career transition or intermediate before moving to other company. Otherwise, might be stuck on the same job function for a lifetime.

Pros

Reasonable pay, benefits, and vacation policy.

Cons

Lack of upward mobility. Highly segmented working environment where lower level employees are under-appreciated and claw at one another to "get out from the bottom."
