Reviews about "old fashioned"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Pay rent or provide housing Other benefits such as discounted flights and access to company junks Invest in you long-term with lots of training and development including language learning Rotational programme means you get breadth of experience and good exposure to management
Cons
Quite old-fashioned and slow to change Lack of consistency in HR and performance handling Do not have full control over career

Good compensation package, interesting and varied work, travel benefits if working for Cathay Pacific.
Cons
Very old-fashioned, which will not suit everyone, no control over where you live or what you do, utterly shambolic personnel management, weak senior leadership with arbitrary decision making. Your career is determined by whether the people at the top like you, rather than on results.
