Smart Communications Reviews

High Politics on Senior Management Level. There are constant organizational changes without allowing subordinates to understand the rationale for effecting such changes. Employee movement or progression is slow. No clear succession program should there be any organizational movements. There are also instances where I know people, who have expressed their intent move to a new function but weren't allowed to do so because their line managers prohibit them from doing so; worse, LOIs will be taken against them as their performance appraisals are affected by the end of the year. Needs improvement on work life balance. More often than not, most employees exceed the normal 8 am - 5 pm work hours to do perform things that are not necessarily have a high business impact. Basic pay should be also improved. Other companies offer a much higher basic pay for a similar position. Furthermore, merit increases on salaries is quite low due to its Bell Curve System. Employees within a department are plotted on a bell curve.This system assumes that there is an equal number of people above and below average. I think this does not accurately reflect the way people perform since there are people who are lucky to receive high appraisal ratings and vice versa. As a result, this could hurt the employee's merit increase.

Slow growth. Promotions are hard to come by.
