Pros
I joined the company after it was acquired, and unfortunately, the transition has been far from smooth. There seems to be a strained relationship between the new parent company and TES, which has resulted in a lot of key personnel at the executive and director levels leaving. The lack of transparency throughout the organization has made it challenging to navigate the changes, as information often feels like a game of 'Chinese whispers.'
Cons
The absence of a clear global business strategy is evident, with clear favoritism towards certain countries, especially the United States, while regions like Europe and APAC receive little regard. Furthermore, the company's failure to pay suppliers on time has made it difficult to manage external relationships, despite the expectation that suppliers should continue to meet demanding standards. What's particularly disheartening is the company's habit of engaging external experts for their services, only to disregard their valuable insights, assuming that the business knows better. This disconnect often led to suboptimal decisions.
