Pros

- Quiet an easy work demand borderline laid back attitude - Salary payments are made on time and allowances are as per industry standards

Cons

- Business is driven by a global brand image however work culture is far from it. Very low on professionalism - Unstructured approach and inter-department communication opacity is rampant - Immproper hiring policies. The Company has no strategic direction and critical activities such as talent recruitment and planning are left to under qualified people - HR team is huge in number but unfortunately a lot of them are on contractual basis who have pathetic work attitude and ethics

none nada nunca abandon all hope ye who enter here

Cons

Working here makes me want to unalive myself daily. It's a typical corporate environment with lots of rules and processes that do nothing for efficiency or production and are only applied to women, minorities, or high performers that carry the team but don't have the right anatomy, look, or last name for promotions and growth. But don't worry, if you have a family connection and absolutely no skills or intellect and like to schmooze but hate work you'll probably get promoted often and rapidly. Working here over the last several years has truly drained any previous ambition I entered the workplace with. The lack of work life balance and low pay contributes to a slow descent into a sloth like existence because I can no longer afford to do outside activities and barely pay my bills, and when I do have free time it's typically interrupted by some arbitrary coworker crash out over a minor inconvenience. I find myself taking on bad health habits to make it end sooner and because you'll need to conform to being chained to your desk and sitting at your desk at least 8 hours of the day to last. bathroom breaks-ha who needs those!
