      Not the good place it used to be

      Second vice-president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lot of friendly leaders

      Cons

      - Below Average Pay if you stay in this org for a long time, Keep switching companies and come back for a better pay - Leadership is mostly clueless and extremely slow to adapt to changing times. The justification is always 'We have the laggers advantage'. - Some of senior leaders who struggle with using basic technology takes decision on adoption of latest technology - Culture and employee benefits below industry standards - Micro-management is now a mainstream management technique - No clear measurement of job performance - Too much internal politics to grow in your career - Very outdated technology across the business
