Pros

Good benefits, comprehensive insurance and flexi benefits. Good exposure to cross country/Apac experience. Management usually adopts a worklife balance approach, doesn't micromanage

Cons

very bad organisation for a conglomerate/MNC - messy, no proper team scopes. Team managers/leads do not have experience growing people and dedicating work clearly. Systems and platforms are all over the place, different systems and platforms across the business that complicates things.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
