Pros

With a great work atmosphere, there are various opportunities provided for individuals to shine and grow within their teams.

Employee training is encouraged, and management makes every attempt to provide projects based on the type of work employees want to do.

With the number of changes happening this year, senior management has been very communicative and responsive, which is great to see.

Cons

A better work-life balance atmosphere would be beneficial. Due to the large nature of the organization, decision-making takes a long time as you have to go through a lot of red tape. The company seems to be more reactive than proactive, always trying to catch up with the competition as opposed to setting trends.

Advice to Management

The biggest question most employees ask is: Are we a business company or a technology company? To me, it seems we are a business company that tries to behave as a technology company. It should, in fact, be vice versa. Senior management needs to clearly define who we are and work towards implementing the same. They should take calculated risks, become more proactive, and make decisions quicker.
