Business Outlook

Pros

•⁠ ⁠Flexible work arrangements (2 days WFH, 3 days in office). •⁠ ⁠No strict clock-in/clock-out culture (though work often spills beyond office hours).

Cons

•⁠ ⁠Management struggles with consistent strategy; directions often shift. •⁠ ⁠Overworking is the norm and can feel ingrained in the culture. •⁠ ⁠Limited career growth unless you overextend yourself/ take on extra roles •⁠ ⁠Some departments frequently change portfolios, leading to confusion (e.g., Comms team leans heavily on events/external relations instead of core comms). •⁠ ⁠Dual-role expectations are common to “meet expectations.” •⁠ ⁠Chronic manpower shortage – when people leave, replacements are slow/none, leaving remaining staff to pick up the slack. •⁠ ⁠Processes and strategies are constantly in flux. •⁠ ⁠HR IS A MESS •⁠ ⁠promotion can happen at anytime of the year, regardless of MY or EY review.
