Pros

Very stable job. Good place to learn and develop more skills. Good work conditions. Multinacional and multicultural environment. Well reputed products and brand.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunities in terms of career growth. Not a very innovation friendly company. Headquarters are located inside the Freezone, which may be a problem in terms of public transportation. Complete absence of creativity in both people and company management.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good bonuses with basic benefits - Have a active wellness committee that arranges eventful activities for employees - Able to find some colleagues who are nice and helpful - Pro-drinking alcohol environment (good for those heavy drinkers) - Yearly overseas bonding trip for all employees, 3 - 4 days - Opportunity to travel overseas for work and training, engaging with international colleagues (thailand, china, japan)

Cons

- Low basic salary - Micro-managed environment, most of the time waiting for higher management to make decisions - High possibility to suffer from health issues, both mentally and physically (prepare supplements to help). - All achievements are always credited to the top management and not to individuals - No career progression unless after working for 10 - 15 years, it's a flat management organisation - Employees are expected to work overtime regularly to prove that they are hardworking and to earn a higher appraisal
