Pros

It offered 2 days work from home in a week

Cons

The management culture is quite challenging, especially for newcomers. There appears to be a strong internal hierarchy, with many employees having long tenures (13–20 years), which can make it difficult for new hires to adapt or grow. Additionally, the company does not seem to offer any significantly unique advantages compared to other MNCs, and transitioning out of this role later may not be easy—so careful consideration is important before joining. A major concern is the gap between the company’s stated policies and the actual work culture. On paper, the organization promotes a balanced environment with 6-hour workdays, weekends off, and hybrid work options. However, in practice, the workload and expectations often extend beyond these boundaries. Deadlines are sometimes structured in a way that indirectly requires working on weekends, even if it is not explicitly communicated. Work-from-home days can be particularly demanding, with no clear boundaries for logging off. Managers may reach out late in the evening, and there can be limited consideration for employees’ personal time or circumstances. Overall, the environment can feel demanding and, at times, difficult to navigate.

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
