Exiger reviews about "colleague"

- Discretionary time off is a scam. The company promoted unlimited time off but whenever you need to apply for more than 20 days of paid leave, the HR will use every means to hinder e.g. delayed approval, or give pressures to your team leads to explain . But 20 days standalone is more than industry average. - For research associate there’s a demerit point system for every works you do, and it is purely punitive. Recently they even introduced a snitching system for colleagues to actively send email to others’ team leads to talk about what you have done wrong in each case, no matter how small or big is the mistake. - Salary is super low, compared to the workload coming along. And even though you have maintained outstanding work quality throughout the year and finally got a promotion to senior / manager, the salary adjustment would always be within 5%. Promotion head count is also very limited. And for those who don’t get promoted, expect only $100 rise per year. - Always not given enough time to work, expect frequent overtime working. The company requires OT work to be pre-approved such that you can receive OT pay, which means, any OT works resulted from urgent requests or delays from others that you cannot anticipate won’t get paid. - Now there is no more full time remote position. All hybrid staff are required to return to office twice a week.

Big workload with fast deadlines

Junior doing senior's work but getting paid as junior, while senior doing junior's work with junior's quality but getting paid as senior Low pay but high quality of work required Hidden limit (20 days) of so-called unlimited PTO If you want people to go back to office twice a month, provide meal/parking/transportation allowance given the high cost in office area, and better office equipment Almost everyone's burnt out with huge workload

Extremely high work volume, because of lack of personnel. People cannot keep up with the high volume of work and they leave. Even so, times are cut to the maximum, which leads people to stay overtime (not paid). Majority of people don't take their lunch break to meet their deadlines. It's not always like this, there are times with less busy days, but people are very tired and the morale is down due to low paychecks. You're also not congratulated for doing a good job, but management carefully analyzes your mistakes and makes sure to punish you for them.

Micromanagement, anti unionising, half decent pay

work-life balance; constant pressure; low salary

The environment is extremely fast-paced, which admittedly may not be for everyone. The work environment and priorities can shift rapidly as the industry evolves. If you prefer a highly predictable, slow-moving routine, you might find it challenging. However, if you are agile, open-minded, and thrive in a dynamic setting, it’s a fantastic fit and a great place to grow.

Inadequate management style, rampant distrust between management and employees, and Trump in the heart of everything. You fail the loyalty test and you are fired.
