Work Life Balance Crushed - Associate Director, Marketing Anheuser-Busch InBev Employee Review

ABI India is structured like a well-funded startup. However, it does not need to be. If its systems, people, and leadership are better structured it can grow at a much-much faster pace without crushing the work-life balance of its employees. Candid and transparent feedback is important but not at the cost of being impolite. A direct conflict in the form of feedback can create a toxic environment that results in attrition that the company is currently seeing. While the ex-CEO famously said that a company should be structured like a Sports Team, this analogy does not weigh appropriately in the 21st century. A company/team needs to be competitive yet supportive so that company can win as ONE. It is important to create and update standard operating procedures and maintain long-term sustainable growth.
