Pros

Very forgiving company ... That's probably why dead woods survive forever despite lack of performance.

Cons

Change and continuous improvements not their culture. HR and Finance - living in their ivory tower.

Pros

Able to gain a multilevel capability in the field of mechanical & electrical if one intends to do so as it is an independent work environment. You have all the authority to make things work but you have to do it all by yourself.

Cons

Local benefits differs with that from that of HQ. Emphasize teamwork but in actual fact isn't as eventually has to do it yourself. All is just an act to the Dictator to see and know. Historical data shows that one can't work long in the field of quality. Only the old-timers of the company remains long since they are the Dictator's favorites. Company expects on-time delivery of work and report to work. Given warning letter is a norm though.
