Good Benefits but Toxic Working Environment

Senior business support

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

OT pays, comprehensive benefits, lots of training and documentation, hardworking colleagues.

Cons

Multi-tasking is essential in my department, and it was very difficult to go on long leave (>1 weeks). Senior business support is expected to figure out the processes and requirements and came out with improvement ideas to add value immediately upon join. Otherwise, they brush you off quickly and will consider terminate you. They would deem you as inefficient for working OT even that is to meet business requirement. Overall, it is a toxic working environment with harsh feedback, micro-management and unrealistic expectations to work fast and highly accurate within tight deadline, at least that was my experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits Wonderful work culture where managers listen and strive to make change based on employee feedback Great place to work if you are an engineer.

Cons

They do not support career change within the company. I recently got my bachelor's degree in an IT related field, and since it doesn't align with their main focus (manufacturing and R&D), they have given me little to no support in transferring within the company. I am having to look elsewhere for a job. I would have loved to stay here, and tried repeatedly to see about getting transferred and was constantly rebuffed or outright ignored.
