Pros

Great CEO with good company directions and progress

Cons

manager who frequently undermines my efforts, assigns excessive workloads, and has even leveraged my visa renewal to pressure me into taking on more tasks. manager monopolizes all business travel opportunities, which has prevented me from conducting necessary supplier visits essential for effective project management, supplier audits and quarterly business reviews (QBRs) Performance Evaluation Inconsistencies - in 2020, I received a spot award from my former manager for my dedication, and in 2021, I was rated as 'outstanding' in both 'achievement' and 'teamwork.' However, under the current manager, my ratings abruptly dropped to 'below expectations.' Skills and work ethic that once earned recognition are now criticized. manager micro-managing and frequent call, even when I was on vocation or lunch time. I raised these concerns with HR, but there was no investigation done, HR sided the manager without reviewing the evidence I provided, and ultimately I have to face the manager's retaliatory actions. This hostile environment has left me with no work-life balance, constantly bullying and harassment. Served 7 years there, a good company, but the last 3.5 year with the bad manager was horrible.
