Pros

Good pension. Learning days (no meetings, no work).

Cons

Very backward and conservative company. Avoid if you prefer remote work or flexibility regarding the days you work in the office. See 👇🏾

  1. Office days are dictated. You need to be in 5 days a month in x week. You can go in any other day in addition to the week you are mandated to be in the office. No exception!

  2. You can only work in the country you are employed in. No longer allowing people to work in UK, India etc for at least 20 days.

  3. Peer review every 3 months. You need to give feedback on each of your teammates every 3 months. You gotta lick them to get a good review from them.

  4. Quarterly check-in every 3 months. Sigh!

Advice to Management

Feedback should be every 6 months, not 3. Stop being so autocratic.
