Pros

1. Have stock option and the stock price is increasing 2. Good life work balance since no one desires to do extra 3. Good products to sell which benefits the patients

Cons

1. Yearly salary increment is less than inflation 2. Yearly incentive is less than 1 month bonus: Employee incentive plan 5% and sales/marketing incentive plan 12% 3. Less than 5% employee can have more than exceed expectation for yearly review. No encouragement for employee to do more than achieve expectation. 4. Hiring is person for the job or setting up job for the person especially for those that know the HR personnel 5. Cutting costs, headcounts and benefits of employees - where is the "Trust in your words and your actions"? 6. Layers of bureaucacy for decision making and asking to justify the obvious - where is the "Willing to face the challenges and the unknown"? 7. Retaliation from HR and management when employees are willing to be open to express their views and opinions which is different from management. 8. No career development plan or roadmap for employees. HR ask the employee to think of their own career roadmap, of course becomes employees think about where are other opportunities in other companies.
