Car crash of a company

Pros

Some good people working there.

Cons

This company is basically rotten to the core. They hire and fire people with abandon, absolutely every decision needs to be sanctioned by top management, and there is an absolute culture of fear. It claims to be "entrepreneurial" but entrepreneurs put faith in the people around them, allow them to take risks and empower them to deliver. In addition, the company does nothing to promote corporate social responsibility or community initiatives, and it's financial structure and tax compliance is secretive at best. Most of what ISOS does is geared towards short term profitability - nobody knows the strategy and nobody knows the performance other than vague headlines about turnover and the number if people it employs.

An ordinary person molded into a superhero

Pros

It is an MNC, you get to learn a lot if you are keen and willing to get your hands dirty (hands-on) within your area and outside your field.

Cons

Not everybody treated the same way and very color based, this is very visible across the whole organisation. Too heavy at the top and middle levels and very weak at the bottom. Not enough working bees and lots of big talkers. Unreasonable deadlines and feels like racing with time. Not very family oriented and no work-life balance.

Pros

None, stay away from this place AND Aspire Lifestyles who allowed themselves to be sold-out to ISOS which will eventually be their downfall.

Cons

There is not enough room in this space to list them all. VERY high stress!! But don't expect them to care OR stand behind their employees. Either sink or swim.
