Pros

A good company to work for. Day shift is main advantage. High pressure workload was seasonal (Jan and April renewals were hectic). We get to travel to Asian branch offices during the renewals for support. New office is world class

Cons

Extreme micro management and bias from senior leader (functional boss) in Hong Kong. Though brunt was faced my TL and our BLR head, they were completely helpless and not able to challenge the leader in HK. She used to go down to the level of checking with us, does our TL comes to office on time or not and what work our TL do? Also vertical growth opportunities are very limited

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
