Pros

Besides a handful of really nice co-workers from other departments, there's really nothing much to look back on. But they weren't good enough reason to keep me staying on.

Cons

Culture does not seem to promote efficiency. People work for the sake of clocking the hours such that they are deem as hardworking and really serious about their job. Lack of fairness in the appraisal systems which totally fails to motivate one to see the purpose behind working hard if you are not the favored ones. On a fair note, this is entirely department specific and does not represent the company in general.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
