Pros

- Valuable hands-on learning opportunities for junior staff. - Commitment to a strong safety culture. - Reliable bonus payouts although not very fantastic. - Good teamwork within departments, though inter-department collaboration varies.

Cons

-Promotions and appraisals are influenced more by upper management preferences than actual performance or contributions. -Limited career growth with no director-level positions, only managerial roles. -Frequent changes in management direction, often indecisive, creating confusion and last-minute deadlines for lower-level staff. -Constant restructuring every six months, disrupting stability and effectiveness. -Lack of proper training for new roles; employees are expected to adapt on their own. -Absence of formal documentation, leading to inconsistent processes and reliance on individual workarounds. -Focused on selling machines but lacks attention to operations and after-sales support; no clear strategy for targeted regions, resulting in stretched resources.

Pros

Decent company culture. Great benefits and pay.

Cons

If the job isn't working, they will try to relocate you to a different position that is a better fit to be more successful. If that doesn't work then they will let you go from the company without notice.
