Pros
Benefits are reasonable, but the office location is far from town and there is still no WFH arrangement for staff.
Cons
The company operates in a very traditional manner, both in terms of systems and people. Many employees have been with the organisation for over 10 years, but this has also resulted in a culture where change is often resisted. Management talks about improvement, but there appears to be limited willingness to change existing ways of working, making some transformation efforts feel more like a slogan than reality.
The company is still heavily dependent on manual processes. dont say AI, the ERP system remains weak and many trackers are maintained through manual Excel updates and data entry.
The culture can also be quite aggressive when results are not achieved. When projects are delayed, shouting, yelling and assigning blame do little to solve the problem. What is needed is better collaboration, root-cause analysis, and practical solutions rather than pressure-driven management.
Management often expects employees to "read between the lines" rather than providing clear instructions and expectations. When outcomes do not meet expectations, the focus can shift quickly to criticism instead of clarifying requirements or addressing communication gaps.
While this did not happen directly to me, I observed several instances where employees were blamed for mistakes that could likely have been avoided with clearer guidance from the beginning. Effective leadership should focus on setting employees up for success rather than expecting them to guess what is required. When management identifies a misunderstanding, the priority should be to correct it immediately. Discussing the issue behind an employee's back instead of addressing it directly creates unnecessary frustration and does nothing to improve communication, performance, or future results.
