Pros
Strong focus on innovation and new product development in niche technical textile sectors. Good exposure to real-world applications in aquaculture, agriculture, and industrial markets. Opportunities to lead cross-functional projects and engage directly with field operations and customers.
Cons
Cross-department coordination can be challenging, especially with operations or manufacturing teams. Structured career progression paths are not always clearly defined, making it hard for new employees to envision long-term growth. High dependency on individual initiative—less structured support or onboarding guidance for newer employees. A noticeable gap in collaboration and openness from some long-standing employees, especially in departments like fisheries. New team members often face resistance instead of support, which affects their morale and ability to contribute effectively even when they join with enthusiasm and fresh ideas.
