      Great people and team values bogged down by never-ending Organization Restructuring

      Consultant specialist

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great team camaraderie --- multicultured work environment, different festivities are celebrated. - Inclusive policy from the top --- LGBT friendly (at least at the policy level). - Managers do review monthly reviews to check in on team members performance and give advice and guidance where necessary. - Performance based bonus and salary increment --- you perform well, you get the reward. - Most teams allow flexi work hours arrangement when required.

      Cons

      - Still using outdated bell curve performance appraisal --- no matter how hardworking everyone is, someone WILL BE GETTING a bad appraisal. - Because of this, managers forced to defend your team when necessary. - Never-ending cost cutting exercise disguised as organizational restructure resulting in increasing offshoring works makes everyone demoralized. - Used to give decent bonus and increment - Most people expected to work extra hours regardless of role.
