Pros
A strong culture in the past where people stayed aligned and made things happen despite professional disagreements. Tremendous learning opportunities and a talented workforce with the potential to drive growth.
Cons
The CEO relies too heavily on whoever speaks first, without understanding the real ground reality. Long-serving talent is being mistreated — salaries are delayed, hikes are withheld, and appreciation is almost non-existent. Many leaders are busy grabbing credit for the team’s work just to stay visible and protect their roles. The HR leadership is disconnected and ineffective, leaving people with no confidence in HR’s ability to support them. Although learning opportunities exist, the internal culture makes it hard for people to truly benefit. The repeated excuse that “old-timers blocked the company’s prosperity” has become obsolete and needs to stop — this mindset is holding the organisation back more than the people ever did.
