Terrible, rotten culture within

Pros

Nice people but terrible management style Not a standard MNC culture despite multiple location

Cons

Copied from others: Local work stress can be high. Many presentations to keep with latest info. Emails and work on weekends. Feeling of 'you are on your own' with little help Adding: Flexible working time but that just getting worse with more workload that the managers never really measure the capacity of the employee workload. Lots of Unnecessary meetings and One on one weekly due to very very poor business process management and data control (other MNCs usually held one on one with managers quarterly, but weekly here?! Too unnecessary because of poor process management!) Managers are inexperienced, unclear of the direction and made-up decisions with over idealistic mentality that lose touch with the ground work Very Poor IT support Overly stretched the employees during end of quarter Too much lip works like they are having toastmaster and sales pitch in meetings that get nothing done in actual Very misaligned communication across department Nothing consistent, everything keep changing because no one wants to make a long term effort to stabilise the operational process and solve the inconsistency Insecure leaders that never set an example Blaming individual culture instead of solving the real long term problem and process / system issue in the company
