Pros

They play with employees’ careers. In my experience, people are pressured to resign rather than being supported or developed. HR does not appear to act in employees’ best interests and often feels aligned with management decisions. Little regard is shown for employees’ circumstances, wellbeing, or career growth. Many are left feeling demoralized, undervalued, and stripped of their confidence before being shown the door.

Cons

Warning to Potential Employees My experience with this company was deeply disappointing and not what I expected from a global organization. In my experience, new employees may not always receive the support, transparency, or fair evaluation process they expect. I felt there was a lack of clarity around confirmation and long-term job security, creating uncertainty for employees trying to build their careers. I also witnessed situations where employees appeared to be encouraged to resign rather than being supported through challenges or performance concerns. This created an environment of fear and insecurity rather than trust and development. The culture, in my experience, seemed influenced by favoritism and inconsistent management practices. Professional growth and recognition did not always feel merit-based. My advice to anyone considering joining is to thoroughly investigate team culture, employee retention, confirmation policies, and management practices before accepting an offer. A company’s true culture becomes visible only after you join.

Pros

If you are a good worker then you are valued and there are growth opportunities and potential for more money.

Cons

Upper management assumes all areas should operate the same way with the same systems without taking into account all the differences.
