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.

Pros

Good compensation. Friendly employees. Continuous training. Good benefits. Feeling of job security. Challenging role as a Project Manager but it keeps everyday new and different.

Cons

Too many meetings. Unrealistic time schedules at times (which just comes as part of the territory of being in field service). Too much paperwork; practically have checklists for checklists.
