      Not a great organisation

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None at all as of now

      Cons

      Micromanagers- I have never seen VPs wearing slippers to work and interfering in every operational decision ever in my life; I saw one for the first time in FADV. Very unprofessional and unfriendly senior management, who don't treat each other with respect. Empowerment of HR: the HR team should be empowered to take decisions. Unfortunately as if now, the senior managements decisions supercedes the HR policy. Transport: horrible! It's the first time I got to see transport admins refuse to have a single pickup scheduled as it was not sent 4 days in advance!
