Unstructure, negative culture and no leadership

Pros

Can't think of any actually. There are some nice people in the working group but that's about all.

Cons

Especially Singapore branch managing the dollars and cents department is very unstructured, poor leadership and runs the department like a mum and pops shop. The workforce is dull and resistant to change. The whole department is like a mortuary! Its like a retirement home and not for young energetic and proactive individuals. The state ozf the people is the reflection of the leadership. That says it all!

Pros

There are a few really talented people still left working in Malta but they are feeling defeated and are looking to leave.

Cons

The fab has gone from looking like a start up world class fab to looking like a college campus. Management and HR think that by hiring as many recent college graduates (with no work experience) that they will succeed. (And by no experience, I mean this is their first job ever, or the only other job was at a fast food restaurant) These recent graduates are being hired at higher pay and higher job grade than people with 20 years Experience.

Latest technology. Lots of freedom at the internship position.
