There are nice people around, ample career opportunity for various position. With more products transfer to Asia, job security is good, if we could execute well

Weak organization structure with too many section heads, leading to slow decision making. Lack of long term plan, leading to poor infrastructure setup. Too bureaucratic but no one is making final decision when there are conflict of interest exist across depts

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
