Pros

In this region, it was a company with many engineering resources, although this is rapidly changing.

Interfaces with people from all over the world.

Cons

Senior management is not open to discussions and new ideas. There is excessive politics from lower-level management and up. Performance evaluations are unfair, with extremely subjective criteria. From time to time, they get rid of senior employees to reduce salaries. Developments occur in cycles, with lots of new employees hired and then, a few years later, dismissed as projects come to an end.

Advice to Management

Learn how to manage people and be respectful.

Change the performance evaluation criteria, excluding the subjective factor, or at least implement clear criteria to avoid politics and personal impressions getting in the way of employee evaluations.

Learn how to deal with diversity and to respect different cultures and formations.
