Highly Political, Long Hours, and Poor Support - Senior Executive Columbia Asia Employee Review

The work environment felt highly political and toxic Support was inconsistent — coworkers reached out only when they needed help, but were unresponsive when you needed assistance Long working hours were treated as normal, not due to productivity, but because “everyone else is doing it” Pressure to stay late to appear productive — no real work–life balance Leadership and teammates lacked transparency, fairness, and accountability Decisions often seemed based on personal relationships instead of merit or performance Overall atmosphere was demotivating and unsustainable
