Pros
Before the merger: Management was transparent and effective. Appraisals were fair and well-structured. An open-door policy encouraged communication. There was a clear direction on the company’s future.
Cons
I looked up "red flags after a company merger" on ChatGPT, and everything it mentioned seems accurate: 1. Leadership and strategic shifts 2. Unclear direction 3. Poor communication 4. Job insecurity and layoffs 5. Erosion of core values 6. Declining employee engagement 7. Changes in compensation and benefits 8. Stagnant salaries, fewer promotions. When you ask HR or senior management basic questions, they seem completely lost. The Indian division still appears somewhat structured, but other regions lack a proper appraisal process and have no employee engagement initiatives.
