Pros
  • Very open and cooperative culture
  • Can-do mindset
  • Break-through mindset
Cons

Weak HR with weak processes to protect employees Always on survival mode culture Less of training and more of performance management Some managers who use the review process as a weapon to bring people in-line

Advice to Management

I have been through manager training, and it is not sufficient for no-experience, almost freshly graduated engineers who are taking manager or lead roles.
