Pushing Tenured Employees Out

Pros

Good pay. Good culture. Innovative thinking.

Cons

Lack of opportunity for advancement. Management out of touch with day to day work. HR policies are implemented but frequently disregarded. Pockets of "old boys' club" still exist. Tenured employees are quickly pushed aside for the flavor of the week.

Pros

Incredible people and mission. Strong focus on energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions as a worldwide company.

Cons

As with all large (and especially international) companies, the bureaucracy can be irritating, but I know the processes are there for a reason.

Pros

If you need high pay in short terms, this is the company

Cons

Suffocating yet unsupportive management; you do all the stuffs on your own and don't commit mistake, your boss will be the first one to kill you. And decision on whether you commit mistake or not is decided by other people not your boss~ with other people don't know the background. Very subjective decisions although people are trying to use the objectiveness in the wrong way (eventhough they thought they are!); Quite fake top management where showing happy in one face but at the back is another. Weird system, where the people who are capable and achieved alot of things are not promoted while the ones who are not achieving are promoted. Sometimes, the people who are achieving are still getting punished for tiny reasons; Poor senior management, some senior management doing micro managing job like an ordinary manager
