Good salary, but challenging management culture.

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The company offers competitive salary packages compared to the market. Upper management shows a genuine interest in employee development.

Cons

There is a notable gap between upper leadership and the field due to ineffective middle management communication. Bureaucracy is high, and the internal environment lacks diversity; there is a clear over-representation of a specific nationality within middle management, which creates a 'closed-loop' dynamic that impacts team inclusivity and stifles diverse perspectives."
