Pros
Staff is trusted to do their job. You don't have micromanagement or someone breathing down your neck. Colleagues are mostly pleasant to interact with.
Cons
The business strategy involves aggressively acquiring numerous small companies each year to integrate them into the larger organization. This approach results in employees receiving increased workloads quarterly without corresponding compensation adjustments. During annual performance reviews and merit adjustments, employees often receive minimal increases, despite handling significantly more responsibilities compared to the previous year. This year, my merit increase did not even keep pace with the inflation rate over the past 12 months, which was unacceptable for me. Notably, this occurred shortly after a meeting with my supervisor, where I was commended for my thorough work and contributions. The leadership within the department is relatively inexperienced, with three individuals recently promoted to leadership roles following the departure of a highly competent Controller. Instead of hiring more qualified personnel for these positions, internal promotions were made regardless of qualifications. The Chief Financial Officer is largely uninvolved, leaving communication to these newly appointed leaders. Additionally, the bonus system lacks transparency and reliability, with Human Resources providing little information about the process. Bonuses are irregularly distributed and never fully paid out. When questioned, the explanation provided is that it resembles a profit-sharing plan, though it is not presented as such. Over the past year, I received only about 30% of the expected bonus amount. Therefore, potential employees should not be swayed by promises of bonuses when considering employment.
