Pros

The role itself had interesting scope and exposure to APAC. Some team members were helpful and professional in day-to-day collaboration. Compensation package was competitive for the level (at least initially).

Cons

The work culture felt toxic and cliquey, especially at the management level - far from the collaborative, professional environment I expected for a multinational setup. Management showed little empathy or support during personal difficulties; instead, there was pressure to perform without flexibility or understanding. Poor handling of employee concerns — requests (even reasonable ones discussed with the team) were sometimes misrepresented or twisted in meetings to paint the employee negatively. Overall lack of transparency and fairness in how decisions about people are made; it felt like certain individuals were targeted or pushed out for reasons that weren’t performance-based.
