Supportive work environment, but challenging internal dynamics, and financial uncertainty
Pros
1. Supportive Work Culture: The work environment is very collaborative, with colleagues who are not only cooperative but also close-knit, almost like a family. 2. Great Location: The office is located in BSD, a rapidly developing area that's far less congested compared to Jakarta.
Cons
1. Complicated Internal Processes: The company operates under the shadow of Telkom, a state-owned enterprise (BUMN), which is plagued by corrupt and dirty politics. This often complicates internal processes. 2. Stagnant Management Structure: The management is too comfortable in their positions, making it difficult for employees to advance in their careers. Career progression often requires navigating through office politics. 3. Lack of Product Innovation: There is no R&D focus for developing original Sigma products. The company relies heavily on maintaining existing clients, leading to outdated products and missed opportunities for market expansion. 4. Uninspired Sales and Marketing Team: The sales and marketing teams lack innovation in capturing new markets, which further hinders growth. Consider streamlining internal processes to reduce the bureaucratic burden and foster a more dynamic work environment. Introducing a stronger focus on R&D and encouraging innovation within the sales and marketing teams could also help in revitalizing the company’s product offerings and market reach. 5. Financial Instability: The company has faced financial instability due to economic and political dynamics, leading to uncertainty and even layoffs. For three consecutive years, there was no salary remuneration or bonuses. While employees understood the economic difficulties, the company failed to address their concerns or provide reassurance.
