Pros
- Some talented colleagues who have great potential. - You will find good people, just look carefully.
Cons
The head is the sole reason for the downfall of the company. - The company had the potential to stay afloat if the CEO had made better decisions. The budget is used for unaffordable partnerships/collaborations, which are still carried out. The sales from these partnerships don't even cover a reasonable portion of their costs. They are still approved because the CEO derives some personal benefit or satisfaction from them. - There have been 3 major layoffs in less than a year; that speaks for itself. - Due to the layoffs, one person will handle the responsibilities of three different positions (at least). - Most directors and managers do not actually work. They only agree to whatever the CEO requests and then instruct all teams to carry out those requests. - Colleagues who have been with the company for a long time, whether by choice or not, inevitably absorb its culture. - Everything is always "urgent" and "top priority". It's not an ER, you sell plastic. - Always trying to implement ineffective campaigns and strategies. Even after providing feedback on why it will not work, it is still necessary to carry out. Then you will be blamed, even though you clearly knew and suggested it wouldn't work. It will fall on deaf ears. - Micromanagement is a major issue across all departments. Part of the company's culture. - There are workstations throughout the office, but Managers/Directors/CEO will verbally ask you not to use them because you cannot work anywhere other than your desk. They do not believe you are capable of working anywhere else. - Your personal time/activities will be observed and talked about. - You will be expected to be flexible but there will be no flexibility from their end. Also, no WFH (unless required by law, T8-T10). Even if you did WFH, it would still look bad.
