      Lousy leadership disguised as raising the bar

      Senior lead

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Base salary is still reasonably pegged to market. Local colleagues are helpful.

      Cons

      Micromanagement here is insane. The senior management (and I mean C suite level) somehow has insane amount of time that warrants their involvement in the most minor of approvals. And we can be talking about having a C suite person approve something that is routine and costs like $50 a year. Not to mention every document/email/slide presentation requires their scrutiny. - HR here are just messengers. Rules relating to anything that benefits employees such as pay, bonus, increment etc. will happily be changed anytime. I know of Q4 2025 new hires who joined with the commitment that they will be eligible for annual pay review next year and it was even in the handbook only for this to change just last week (in DECEMBER no less) that Oops sorry to be you because we need to "raise the bar". (!!!????) - Technicians here are seen by management as dispensable. - There is this very obvious cultural disparity between those who hails from HQ region and locally. The latter are seen as lesser beings who are merely wasting company resources and should be squeezed more.

      Pros

      got front-row seats to the Asia Senior Leadership Circus — an ensemble of Senior Managers and Directors whose management style can best be described as ‘toxic, but make myself look good'

      Cons

      If you enjoy being blamed for issues you didn’t cause, cleaning up leadership fires you didn’t start, and watching executives reinvent the wheel every quarter (only to declare it a ‘strategic breakthrough’), this is the perfect place for you. The culture? Imagine trying to build psychological safety while leadership treats transparency like a confidential hobby. HR is expected to fix everything but empowered to change absolutely nothing. It’s character-building, I suppose — in the same way surviving a storm on a flimsy raft is ‘character-building.’ If you value your mental health, professional growth, or the radical idea of respectful leadership… please, for your own wellbeing, consider other options.
