Pros

Nice relationship with some colleagues. Opportunity to try different things (if you are interested to do it yourself)

Cons

Lacking department heads both in soft and hard skills. No interest to learn or improve. Issues within the company are not addressed. HR lacks knowledge and people skills. If you have any issues, better not go to HR. No opportunities for growth and learning. Very high employee turnover, and no interest in working on it. Low pay.

Pros

- The junior-level colleagues were friendly, warm, and a pleasure to work with

Cons

- The workplace culture was often toxic, with some staffs from the headquarter showing bullying behaviour toward colleagues over minor mistakes. - Leadership often portrayed themselves as flawless, while dismissing high turnover as being caused by low salaries. In reality, a significant portion of departures stemmed from poor management practices and negative work culture. - Communication was a persistent issue, with unclear or contradictory messages that created frustration and confusion. - Micromanagement was common, with little trust placed in junior staff, which created a stressful and discouraging environment. - Compensation was below industry standards, and opportunities for salary negotiation were almost nonexistent.
