Bad Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

No positive observations at this point.

Cons

Rigid working hours are enforced regardless of workload, resulting in reduced flexibility and work-life balance. Strict movement restrictions after entering the office premises create an unwelcoming and uncomfortable environment. Management tends to be overly critical of minor activities, which negatively impacts employee morale. Lack of a structured onboarding or welcoming culture for new employees; minimal support and encouragement. Poor management practices and lack of professionalism observed in daily interactions. Presence of orthodox mindsets that limit open communication and progressive work culture. Instances of gender bias and discrimination, leading to an inequitable workplace environment.

Not that good, but not too bad.

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally friendly people, chill environment, sort of stable, good reputation in the industry. Flexible work hours and location when work allows. Chances to witness or even take part in cool projects.

Cons

Some upper management dodge their responsibility, lack accountability and regard people as tools. If you are under the wrong manager, your life would be difficult. No encouragement of diversity and inclusivity. Your individual development is not truly considered and valued. Salary is not competitive.
