Pros

They provide an excellent workplace and unlimited food in the name of perks, so you won't step out of the office once you enter. They pay well and move the recruitment process pretty fast. They are even willing to sponsor the right candidates.

Cons

Insane hours, in which, due to a legal stipulation in the offer letter, they do not follow the country in which you stay or serve; instead, they use their internal terms.

In the name of flexibility, they expect you to get up at China time to attend the line manager's hectic schedule at 3 or 4 a.m. in the UK.

Work from home even when there is no weather or contingency in the UK; they still expect you to run to the office.

Genderism, bias, micromanagement, and poor management were all present. You must have a robot that can defeat another robot and be emotionless in their choice of words and how they operate beyond global culture, but they want to be the big giant to compete with social media.

Advice to Management

Please equip senior management with the necessary leadership skills and knowledge.

Treat everyone as a human, not a robot. If you cannot adapt to global culture, you should not take on any global roles at all.

Look for departments with high attrition rates; it is not always about the employees.
