Pros
- Proper compensation of allowance (petty cash, overtime monies). - Flexibility in carrying out your daily routines (also a con). - Colleagues are open to interaction and communication.
Cons
- Overtime is a norm, practically almost on a daily basis. No proper gatekeeper on this so an employee actually worked overtime for weeks during my term with them. - 95% of the HODs lack the actual knowledge to elevate their own departments and practically have no prior experience in leading teams. You can actually overtake the HODs within 2 years of hard work and learning from external parties. - The organization values loyalty over talent; hence the quality is stagnant. Most of the HODs have been with the company for over a decade and it's their first job in their entire career. One even assumed the position because he volunteered for it. - You cannot learn beyond what the HODs have attained in terms of skills/knowledge because they are the ceiling. - The most popular question and running joke between the employees during the yearly review is 'Who watches the watchmen?' because of the lack of progress in each department.
