Pros

Good company for technical and exploring more new business growth across region

Cons

The company follows different policies for employees, such as varying work schedules (5-day week versus 48-hour work week), which can create inconsistency and dissatisfaction. Employees are often expected to handle multiple responsibilities beyond their primary roles. Extended working hours are common, affecting employee well-being. Work-life balance is poor and needs significant improvement. There is a perception that employees are indirectly pressured to work extra hours and take on additional responsibilities to be considered for promotions. While the company has good policies and processes, limited time and support make them feel more like a formality than a meaningful practice.

Pros

I generally like everyone I work with and I’ve never been pressured to work overtime.

Cons

For some reason after strong financial years our CEO has decided to do silent layoffs via a full RTO mandate. There’s no other reason I can think of to push for a full return to office. It is a bad sign for things to come when a company starts retracting benefits.
