Avoid it like the plague (in Asia) - Manager Milestone Systems A / S Employee Review

Pros

- Flexible work hours - Salary

Cons

Review is specifically for Asia. No other benefits except for salary. People in non-sales roles have no say in anything and are treated as best as dirt (read - no value and respect). The higher management sitting in Singapore has created a coterie of useless people who are used as (blind) eyes and (deaf) ears for everything. Non-communication between people and teams, non-transparency, groupism, raceism, one upmanship is widely practised in a dictatorial way by the upper management. No HR touch whatsoever for the remote offices and even if concerns, serious ones too, are raised they get completely ignored. If HR does look into grievances (very rarely), only that person is reached out to against whom the concern has been raised and the matter is closed!!! Highly incompetent, ignorant, self centric, and self-grandiosing people have been elevated as country managers who have the final say for everything even if they don't know facts and neither have the skills and willingness to dig up/listen to facts. No wonder the Singapore office in particular, and some other countries saw a high attrition rate where good and competent people left.

Pros

There are still quite many good individual contributors level people with the company who are adding to the positive culture . The compensation is relatively good.

Cons

Milestone has gone through multiple transformations over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, the mergers did not help streamline the company’s operations -quite the opposite. The culture transformed into a toxic one, extremely political and unpleasant.The constant restructuring has left the organization with people who are more comfortable with conformity than true experts in their fields. The culture has also shifted from being globally driven to once again being heavily HQ-centric. All of this instability and continuous change has prevented the main product from evolving and delivering the promised “beyond security” vision. Competitors such as Genetec and Axis Communications are now far ahead. There was a complete turnover of the entire C-level leadership team last year, which only added to the uncertainty and overall sense of instability. The new management also appears to be even less transparent than the previous one. In addition, there are virtually no career growth opportunities unless you are based at headquarters.
