      Management with good vision but poor execution

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Willing to pay a good salary, most non-management level colleagues get along well with each other.

      Cons

      Culture of blame shifting, short sighted senior management forcing through decisions with poor execution in order to meet their own KPI without considering the impact to the ground level employees.

      Huge company with lots of subsidiaries

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good starting pay and reasonable benefits provided. Bonus may go as high as 4-5 months during good years. Good for retirement as management does not require staffs to work overtime as long as work is done on time.

      Cons

      Lack of career advancement. Successor of higher positions are often the person holding one position lower and the whole team gets "promoted". Such promotion does not comes with pay increment but a mere re-position. Hence, not somewhere someone could stay long if looking at getting promoted within 3 to 5 years. Tough to outshine if holding a low position as management does not recognise the efforts of the preparer.
