Pros

Great place to work, good people, good systems, work life balance, everyone is free to give idea and contribute to the project you are working with. Environment is great with multi- national employees working together with local employees. Chance of travel overseas and work with foreign counterparts.

Cons

Nothing cons during my stay except the retrenchments that happened from time to time in our business unit due to business situation.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
