Exodus of talent

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for growth and development with chances to move within the company to change roles and disciplines if desired

Cons

There is an exodus of talent happening with an alarming rate. The Indianapolis Controls and Data Services division have lost close to 25% of the employee within one year. Moral is low and the general atmosphere is gloomy with so much uncertainty about the future of the company.

Good brand name attracts joiners but most are disappointed upon joining, with the politics and challenging & ambiguous environment ....

Business Outlook

Pros

Based on my experience in Seletar plant in Singapore, good work-life balance. Most employees leave work on-time, though a lot of them have night calls & webex's fairly often.

Cons

Over-dependence on UK employees to fill Singapore vacancies & promotion opportunities, gross mis-trust in locals; most authority & control reside in UK. Culture is extremely political, too many meetings & too much talking. Businesses & functions operate in silos, protecting their "turfs" with no consideration for bigger picture. Matrix organisation which is extremely complicated and has undergone 5 major re-structuring in 6 years!
