Business Outlook

Pros

-Relaxed Office Environment -Needed Trainings are provided -Work Life Balance

Cons

-Bad Leadership throughout all the way from CEO level. -People on management level still are not thrive for real change to this ever changing and competitive environment. Companies always implement changes, but these changes only affect people on the bottom the most. People on the top are just playing musical chairs, swapping roles. -Management are rarely responsible for any bad decision they have made. They stay in their job whereas engineers are blamed by being laid off. -Bad Salary to start with. Average yearly pay rise was about 1~3%. This is pathetic. -Managers are selfish, only care about their own promotion.
