- Good employment stability (It's hard to see anyone being fired.)
- Opportunity to improve technical knowledge
- Opportunity to work with peers around the globe
- Good environment
The corporate hierarchy is very vertical. There are several levels to pass to achieve an executive position.
HR policies are weak. HR Business Partners address only to the executive levels, and it's clear that the company does not have enough HR staff to support all the employees.
Promotion criteria and career plan are unclear.
Company policies fix a determined ratio of Jr./Pl./Sr. positions in each department (e.g., 20/40/40). Even if you have a high performance evaluation, you won't be promoted if this ratio is already complete.
The executive positions are never filled with professionals from outside the organization. This affects innovation and competitiveness.
- Invest in HR staff, new policies, and actions to retain talent.
- Reduce the influence of syndicates in the company's decisions.
- Implement bonuses/compensation based on meritocracy.

Ghosted at scheduled time, no response. Very unprofessional, no response to follow up. Maybe it was just my recruiter, but I hope the process improves in the future if I'm ever in the process of interviewing here again.
