Nothing great to talk about this organisation

Hire wrong people for the wrong job. Lack of 360 degree feedback enables managers to torture their employees for the pettiest things at office.

Pros

Good pension, good work life balance, people are friendly.

Cons

Poor resource and project management, a lot of works are duplicated and project has little impacts. Totally disregard individual development need by setting uniform objective for everyone in the same grade. Feel like a wast of time here.
