Pros

Work life balance and great company events from time to time Long Chinese New Year break

Cons

Not much employees interaction and engagement from HR and HR is quite nonchalant about the employees. GM is a nice person but the HR loves to sit in her office instead of interacting with the staff to understand the business. Lean structure as 1 person is doing 2 people load now since business is cutting cost - Not sure if the management is aware of this. IT infrastructure not efficient enough to support our work, microsoft office version is quite backwards.

Pros

Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)

Cons

Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results. Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need. Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more. IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
