BASF Hong Kong reviews

1. The CORE values has been replaced by winning strategy. Win at all cost! (other than overhead cost- this is to be cut down massively especially in Hong Kong Singapore 2. Sometimes you are forced to do things against your moral values. More than once I have seen managers torn apart teams and to avoid severance, gaslighting employee and toying the bonus cut decision until they resign on their own 3. Headcount cut means everyone is clocking in insane overtime to do 2 persons’ job, or multiple assistant managers JG4 taking over a JG6 senior manager job 4. Micromanagement at each level, all the way from the shareholders. Approval for tiny cost goes up to VP level and slow down decision. Then you got to work overtime to justify why cost and work out alternative to cutdown the cost further 5. Shortsighted business decisions without clear strategy. We claimed to cut down to fuel change but what’s the end game?

Limited internal and external opportunities locally
