      Dependent on Working Location - Generally A Good Place to Work At

      Project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Work-life balance: Purely dependent on the role, but you are not expected to work outside of office hours. However, for my role, due to its nature, I have to; but I am compensated with time-off. - Culture: People here are nice. There is a positive work culture; and you meet people from all walks of life. - Robust HR system: HR matters are well managed and yearly reviews for bonus and increments are systematic and not arbitrary.

      Cons

      - Leadership: You have managers and bosses; but no leaders. Be prepared to do work that you should not be doing (outside your role); or do work that you could be doing, but are not empowered to. Upper management will not steer the ship for you, you have to take the oars and row and figure it out along the way. - Renumeration/Bonus: Although systematic, when it comes to brass tacks, your experience is dependent on your superior. This is related to the first point. - Lack of Networking: Although they have a large network in dozens of countries, you may feel secluded to your own locale ironically. Hence, your work and prospects within cannot achieve its full potential given this attribute of them.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Since the team is small, there is lot of exposure to multiple facets of the industry. I gained a significant amount of experience.

      Cons

      Culture is extremely challenging to work under. Micromanagement is rampant. Extremely strict working hours. A very controlling and unpleasant atmosphere.

      Run away and don't look back

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Pay was at or above market.

      Cons

      Immature and hostile climate and culture. Fear based micromanagement made it difficult to get meaningful work done unless it was a last minute push. HR/ office manager had serious issues that often came out as inappropriate touching hugging and comments towards other employees. CEO was very abusive and used fear and bullying to manage his people. Big mistakes were often overlooked and punishment was harsh for minor miscommunications. CEO is a very poor communicatior and would often humiliate or belittle people in front of customers or other employees.Toxic work environment all around with no work life balance. Well below market benefits. Work day was like living on a prison yard with comings and goings strictly monitored by hr manager who would record arrivals departures and breaks on a spread sheet for future use against employees.
