Pros

It encourages the talent inside me to grow and lets me share my thoughts to improve or review the job process. It helps me to be resourceful.

This means that I'm equipped well and in an effective way in order to find and manage resources on my own to facilitate the execution of a job or project in the most optimal way, which would be a win-win situation for both the company and the customer.

The employees are neutral and friendly. There is no politics and leg-pulling culture. One would feel completely independent to execute their job.

Of course, a great company with a clear vision and goals and objectives.

Cons

The finance and HR sections are a bit of a nuisance sometimes. The company expects its employees to devote time beyond normal working hours so that the execution of jobs or projects can be carried out in the best way possible. There is a very high workload. Sometimes, it is left up to you to balance life between your job and your family. This makes the task a bit more difficult and stressful. One shocking aspect is that one is expected to initiate the process of visas and related stuff on one's own, since the company does not take much responsibility in this regard.

Advice to Management

Just keep it up, guys. And think about announcing some bonuses for employees during the annual review business.
