Pros

They don't promote people just only for their skills but it is also important for the company that the person has leadership attributes. I think this is one reason why the culture is thumbs up for me.

Cons

A bit slow with regards to systems improvement compare with similar companies. Needs also improvement on training method with employees, on line courses is not that effective.

Pros

Company investing in new products and higher growth markets

Cons

Over the past five years, there has been a significant decline in employee loyalty and incentive programs. Equity compensation, such as stock options and RSUs, was previously accessible to mid-level managers but is now strictly reserved for directors and above, reducing long-term incentives for a large portion of the workforce. Additionally, an increase in micromanagement and administrative red tape—particularly regarding strict scrutiny on all spending—has hindered productivity. The frequent practice of cutting budgets to meet short-term quarterly Operating Income (OI) targets is ultimately compromising our long-term revenue growth.
