Pros

Work life balance, some freedom in pursuing projects you are passionate about (but completely eroded away with the latest re-org); Latest re-org eroded all pros.

Cons

No more innovation in the company (as observed by some interns); Everything is revenue-focused to get the company's numbers good for Wall Street; All localised RnD effort for product regionalisation eliminated by latest round of re-org, downsizing of RnD for global subsidiaries, major revamp of reporting structure, with managers and surbodinates located in different geographies; all employee appraisal only by Salesforce stats, even for non-business roles; No more career development for subsidiary employees; Favouritism is obvious, especially in regards to nationality.

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.
