Extremely negative work environment in Asia

Pros

An okay place if you can bear with the amount of internal politics going on everyday. Colleagues are friendly if their roles do not have direct working relationship with you.

Cons

Most colleagues you have to work aren’t helpful, need to watch your back all the time because people here seem to be looking out for opportunities to stab at each other. The managers and directors are all not getting along to improve things, they just fight with one another. This makes it hard for advancement The facilities and tools (internet, systems, computer and software) provided are outdated compared to competitors. It makes work more inefficient and more labor required for the same tasks. The management is disconnected from the realities at the ground. Compensation and benefits are below average.

Your team-mates will be amazingly helpful and brilliant. Soft skills training is quite good. Fair restrictions on internet use.

Cons

Pay is below average. Very limited co-ordination between departments. Lack of honesty at the managerial level and above. Visible discrimination between IT and non-IT employees wrt facilities provided.

Run away as fast as possible

Pros

Where flexibility was the last remaining perk, it's not extended equally among the ranks.

Cons

At Springer, there's zero incentive for working hard and ineptitude goes a long way. Extremely disorganized, abysmal leadership, and rampant nepotism. New initiatives are rolled out before all bugs are cleared or before all geographic regions are even considered, resulting in a bigger mess than you'd started with. Terrible environment: long term building construction brings excessive noise, fire alarm testing and drills, completely closed off or out of service lifts, and even hallway flooding. No alternate accommodations will even be considered unless your position is deemed "income driving"; no allowance for working from home or temporarily moving locations even though there's tons of space due to shockingly high turnover. Major changes are made without bothering to consult with or even advise those who will be affected. No accountability for sexual harassment.
