Dislikes

Very poor in successions plan , poor career progression & mentality not a safe environment to work with. Frequent of layoffs & team shuffling, myself frequently impacted as many others who still in the organization, no clear career & personal growth. Excessive micro management even to those who are more than 15+ years of Experience. Speak up culture not in practice here.
