Pros

The organisation is going through a cleanup process of some of those managers. Unfortunately, it's a process that will take time. It’s a company that is going places and fortunately still has very competent and friendly people on its ranks.

Cons

Unfortunately still exist some LL6 and LL5 that are abusing their position and needs an “early retirement”. Many of the promotions are based on who you know that what you know. Due to the extremely poor management I decided that enough was enough hence I left the company.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities - Ambitious R&D projects - Good salary - Good work life balance

Cons

- Chaotic, company has outgrown itself without the necessary changes to structure - Too many departments with clashing goals and agendas creates lots of late change and leads to constant changes in direction. This in turn impacts downstream workloads and product quality
