Pros

Work life balance is good. Timings are Good. Office location is good.

Cons

Regionalism, Favouritism, No value of hard work and dedication, Manager wont even recognise you if you’re not in his favourites or a female. Very slow growth. If you’re a hard worker they will give you more work without any recognition or credit.

Pros

Undoubtedly, the division is under the guidance of an exceptionally talented individual. His leadership has been instrumental in numerous transformative initiatives and the successful attainment of various projects.

Cons

There have been apprehensions regarding the efficacy of the leadership team selections in the Asia and APAC regions, with concerns raised about perceived insecurity and indications of favoritism among team members. The existing recruitment strategy seems to prioritize individuals based on personal references, deviating from an impartial evaluation of their genuine talents and qualifications. It is advisable to conduct a comprehensive review of the individuals recruited in APAC and Asia over the past 3 to 4 years, specifically in project management, package management and engineering roles, as there appears to be a consistent association with a single individual. Furthermore, considering their shared professional background, it may be prudent for the CEO to conduct due diligence on this matter.
