Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to different telco environments and advance telco tech.

Cons

Old School count the hours not the productivity management style. Management have absolutely no back of employees. Raising issues is offensive for management. No real career growth path if you don't have friends at right places.

Ericsson is good but team GAIA sucks

Business Outlook

Pros

.Work life balance. .Good bonus at least for my team. .Hardly any work for many employees.

Cons

.Grossly unethical ,incompetent and unprofessional folks in senior leadership positions. .Job security is always a big concern as so called leaders are inept ,insecure losers. .It's more of a family shop where - there is no accountability ,transparency or meritocracy . .Terrible leadership like some gangster style group targeting people for being smart and open about their opinions. .Have never heard or come across such weak set of people who are just cowards and insecure from intelligent people. .Plus there is non quality work as almost all of the first batch of talented employees quit the team GAIA as I said they were bright ,intelligent and talented. .To top it all there is a top guy in Blore (polished on exterior) who behaves like he is some sort of old king or slave owner and he actually has 3 slaves in reality in the firm and they just follow his whims and stupidities.
