...n. Once you wrap your head around it most other business models seem simple. 3. The pay is not bad - top quartile in the industry is maintained.

Dislikes

1. The culture is not the most healthy. Most departments work in silos and behave adversarially with each other. Sometimes the politics is too much. 2. The support functions (non production - such as IT, HR, F&A) have more people than necessary; as a result a sizeable portion of the workforce is under-worked and overpaid while a small minority is overworked (not underpaid though). 3. There is significant lack of trust between the management and the line (no one side is exempt from blame though) - leading to draconian policies such as (non - exhaustive list): a) forbidding employees to step out of campus for any reason whatsoever (except by raising a gatepass that deducts proportionate leaves); b) having to visit the company hospital for taking any sick leave (the service quality at the hospital is not state of the art and the doctors are extremely reluctant to prescribe sick leave ; once they do, you again have to go to the hospital to get a fit certificate) . Typically these policies alienate new breed of employees who do not feel inspired to go over and beyond what is strictly necessary.
