Business Outlook

Pros

- infrastructure (IT and lab management) is advanced and organised compared to competitors - safety culture is emphasised - salary is not bad but stagnant - workers are generally nice and there is support for your work - MNC: good for first job - decent benefits

Cons

- progression depends on whether people above you move on and seniority of employment - increments and bonuses are low, offers low basic salary. (Affects your future job opportunities as other companies will look at your basic salary) - turnover is pretty high - cost cutting measures (bonuses) due to global rebranding and restructuring killing morale.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Great co-workers. Decent work environment. Facilities are adequate for the work being performed. Middle management is alright and willing to help when needed.

Cons

Does it need to be said again? Poor upper management. Repetitive work. Minimal pay increases even for exceptional performance. Lack of upward mobility. Company believes they own you 24/7. Current lay-offs are demoralizing. Everything is sacrificed for the sake of the shareholders.
