Not a terrible place

It product specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The experience will vary by department, team, and manager. I liked the people that I worked with and supported, plus the benefits were not bad. However, there are also many people who aren’t trustworthy here. Also there are times when they expect you to work long hours. If you speak up or bring up something you don’t like they will find any excuse to replace you. So I wouldn’t recommend this place for long term or someone who wants to change things. Get your experience, keep your head down and leave when you find something better.

Cons

Close minded old management that like the things the way they are even if it creates more work for the employees. Some VPs should not be working there anymore and need to retire already.

No worklife balance , work overloaded, disappointment Please don’t work here

Account/finance/banking

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits good, such as having medical benefits and transport allowance

Cons

Don’t expect any work life balance even though this is an MNC company. Culture is bad. No worklife balance, work overloaded that the manager still thinks we have the capacity. Unprofessional in handling people. Manager feels offended if employees ask or clarify anything and say mean and sarcastic things. Only expects employees to be a yes-man. Manager is not being honest during the interview too, did not mention certain important things. Very very bad culture and very disappointing working here
