Pros
  • Flexible working hours.
  • Ability to work at home.
  • There are multiple opportunities to enhance one's technical skills through trainings (online/classroom).
Cons

People managers are also project managers. This makes their roles conflicting, as they tend to focus more on the company rather than its workforce.

Contrary to the values being promoted among employees, the process is very poor, if there is even one in force.

Holidays are accounted for utilization. If there are public or non-working holidays (Christmas, New Year), you have to render overtime to take back lost hours, which is ridiculous.

Advice to Management
  • Give credit to those employees who perform on their work; it's their services which bring in the majority of the company's income.
  • Invest more in talent and training for trending technologies (Cloud Computing, Mobility) to win more clients who are moving into these tech.
