Pros

Can find some good and smart people in the organization. Company starts to change the out-of-date B&C system in other international branches.

Cons

Unclear R&R after the transformation and new management group chooses to ignore it and this is letting the company never fix the true problems. Moral is low. Cannot agree more with one of the reviews in this site about the bullying response. That the managers threaten and yell at employees does exist. Higher management chooses to ignore it and there is no effective system from HR to control this. Any good people management training and system seems to be trash to the department leads if their managers are not in the same country. Double standards. Some managers and directors have no knowledge and intend to learn about real work or listen to the people. They made wrong decisions due to lack of knowledge and they blame on the subordinates. Also, the weird so called "team" phrase. Senior managers never really look at the how the team does the work, but purely believe someone can fix it. Passive aggressive people occupy the positions everywhere.

Pros

Good benefits, some great people

Cons

The company response to the associate manager who called out bullying in a review on this site I s disappointing. Bullying is putting it lightly; demeaning, yelling, horrible treatment by senior executives to other senior leaders (vp's, directors) is the expectation and it's ruined the culture and in turn the business results.

Pros

Pay and benefits are great

Cons

Certain Management Chains "highly encouraged" many of us to write positive reviews after one of our all hands meetings where employees pointed out all the negative reviews. Many of the reviews are not legitimate as a result. Cons, continue to outsource jobs to foreigners and less and less focus put on the individual contributor. People are seen as numbers and not as family anymore. Very sad. The company has lost it's way from the family values. If you want to work in IT and grow, you won't. Very SLOW moving, projects rarely complete successfully. Not worth the money.

Integrity is a fundamental principle at SCJ. The company would never ask anyone to say something he or she doesn’t believe is true, and bullying is not tolerated. We welcome sincere feedback here and review all comments.
