Pros

Adapting to a toxic environment.

Cons

There are many area to improvement within this organisation. Company doesn't appreciate staffs, only talk about Work-life balance but doesnt execute. But leadership drives you worse than a machine. Basically, Individual businesses unit doesn't work cohesively. Expectation of their employees couldnt be define properly, depends on your manager. if he wish to find fault at you, he can use many ways to do so. Manager can use nasty words on their employees and drive them to leave voluntarily. HR is useless in this company. Basically, this company is revenue driven company which is normal. But Finance drives the business with price setting, leaving no room for negotiation for contract orders or other business opportunities. no proper processes quality issues, production doesnt have standard SOP and many other things to mention. I have been in the work force for more than 20 years and at least with 3 Multi national companies before. This is the worst. Hire 1 person (of a higher banding) to replace 2 staffs (of lower banding) MC and hospital leave also required to work. Think twice before joining the company. They use many ways to force people out of the company to answer to shareholders especially during the year end to increase their growth

Pros

Since the company is big, it's a great opportunity for networking, learning new skills, and earning certificates after completing hazard safety training that you can use in the future as well (especially if you're working with Unity Lab Services). Coworkers are usually nice and will always lend a hand if you need it. If you're lucky, you might be placed at a one-person site where the site supervisor is chill and understanding, lets you work at your own pace, and helps you learn new things by giving you "side quests."

Cons

No real career growth. The workload can be hard to keep up with at times, and the company strictly enforces an 8-hour workday with no overtime, even when needed. Day-to-day operations feel heavily micromanaged by upper management through strict policies. HR introduces new policies almost monthly, often adding tasks that feel unnecessary. They frame this as becoming "more data-driven," but in practice, it hasn't led to much noticeable improvement.
