      Terrible ownership and management

      Pros

      Benefits package is better than average

      Cons

      Company does not empower employees but instead micromanages them and completely misses the bigger picture. Smart people do not thrive in this organization but people with no common sense do. Billionaire owner is paranoid people are trying to steal from the company and invents processes to stop them doing their job properly. CEO has no power and many of the senior management don’t report to him they report to the owner. They treat suppliers and customers poorly, always pay them late and try to renegotiate deals after they were agreed.

      Toxic work environment

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It has good benefits. Can't think of anything else.

      Cons

      Poor management mentality. Asian company for Asian people (mandarin/indonesian languages might be necessary to understand the company culture). Toxic environment.

      Pros

      Benefit package is above standard. Unfortunately i cannot write 20 words since that is the only good thing about paper excellence

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic, nothing gets done, managers are afraid to make decision, top management backstab each other to gain power,finger pointing culture instead of working to solve issues. Very toxic work environment.
