Pros

Good pay, medical plans ok, company very involved in the community in a positive way

Cons

Company ego centric and tends to promote only certain types. Lots of great people are held back from jobs they are qualified for based on Team Leader opinion and recommending that they don't apply for a variety of reasons. If upper management were aware of how often this goes on I don't think they would be happy. Only 4% match on 401k. Lots of great employees but the few who are "headstrong" are not dealt with and continue to bully to get their way. Claim to have work life balance as a priority but there is no consideration of this at the tactical levels.

Good MNC exposure but..

Pros

Great for individuals who would like to gain a step into a MNC. Staff purchase (cap at 3 cartons / 2 months). Interesting to liase with colleagues from around the world. Mid and higher management gets more opportunities to grow.

Cons

In denial that compensatory package is "market rate" even when their internal feedback has constantly said otherwise. Friendly colleagues but lack of warmth (not very genuine as people still keep a distance). Staff purchase 3 cartons cap is not very helpful for staff with big families. Office location is very bad. Quite a distance from the train station, lack of AFFORDABLE lunch options in the area - i.e. current location about 2-3x more costly than in CBD or other business areas (not helping when the salary is below market rate). Lack of proper training/not willing to train -lots of empty promises to train Workload is usually okay but multiple times had to work on projects that others initated but they themselves did not want to do... which can be really annoying

Work-life balance

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. People are very friendly and helpful. Race is not an issue at all. Apart from manager's evaluation, your colleagues can evaluate you as well.

Cons

Work-life balance does not exist. Some people in the upper management are doing micro-management. They are not empowering. They think they are always right.
