Pros

Depending the team you work for, work life balance is on target.

Cons

Policies are not enforced across the company. For example, the working 10 days/month in the office. We at times get in our own way to achieve results.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are glad to hear that you recognise the company’s strengths and have found the salary to be fair. We are sorry to hear that your experience with work–life balance, HR policies and management has been frustrating. That is not the culture we aim to create. We encourage you to make use of the internal support available, including your line manager, HR and our confidential employee assistance programme, all of which are there to help address concerns and offer guidance. We appreciate your feedback. We will continue working to ensure our policies and leadership practices support a consistent and respectful working environment.
