Pros

Flexible hours. Most days are low stress unless something pressing comes along

Cons

HR is slow to hire anyone, but quick to release people. Support is rarely given when needed on crucial jobs, Information is not shared well between different offices.

Disappointed

Pros

It's a large company with room for movement. Feedback from employees on the business side is much better than on the internal shared services side.

Cons

Leadership is lacking and no one is held accountable for their actions inactions. Upper management makes big promises to get you on board then never deliver.

Pros

Good products and technology, employees are nice, global organisation. Good opportunity for learning and getting exposure. If work for the right team leaders, it is ok.

Cons

Clear divide among employees, people care for themselves as no recognition for teamwork. Following the change in top management from local to foreigners in 2012, the new foreign team promotes politics in the organisation so the culture of "don't care" develops. Each foreign employee comes with own agenda. There is a clear divide of foreign vs local since the retrenchment that went wrong with a list of all locals were made redundant in 2012. The HR dept is highly political these days and the dept is over staffed. The HRBPs delivered poor services to the employees yet are treated star performers because they can sing the same tune with the new foreign team. They took employees to task if any employee give poor feedback about HR support. Staff turnover is therefore higher, at some points it is felt like a recruitment center as many people come and go.
