Salary is generally paid on time. The company can provide basic industry exposure for fresh graduates at an early career stage.

The company lacks job security, with frequent layoffs that are not clearly linked to performance, creating constant uncertainty among employees. Hard-working and dedicated team members are often undervalued or let go, while less productive individuals are retained. In several cases, employees with higher salaries are removed as a cost-cutting measure instead of being retained or developed, which negatively affects motivation and work quality. The leave policy is poorly defined and inconsistently implemented, making it difficult for employees to plan time off. The work environment is highly political, with frequent leg-pulling and favoritism influencing decisions rather than merit or performance. This significantly impacts teamwork, trust, and overall productivity. There is also excessive management interference across departments, particularly from individuals whose core responsibilities lie elsewhere. This lack of role clarity spreads negativity, disrupts workflows, and lowers morale. Overall, the company suffers from poor leadership direction, low accountability, limited collaboration, and a work culture that often feels demotivating rather than supportive.
