Cons

The company culture has become increasingly toxic due to excessive bureaucracy. Decision-making is slow and overly complicated, with multiple layers of approval required even for minor actions. This not only stifles innovation and efficiency but also creates a frustrating environment where employees feel powerless and undervalued. Moreover, there is a growing perception that Human Resources (HR) functions more as a protective arm of management rather than as an advocate for employees. Instead of supporting staff welfare or addressing legitimate concerns, HR appears primarily focused on minimizing legal risks and shielding the company from liability. This lack of genuine support further erodes trust and contributes to a sense of alienation among employees. The result is a workplace where morale is low, transparency is lacking, and people are discouraged from speaking up or taking initiative — ultimately leading to high turnover, burnout, and disengagement.
