Pros
- People development, career advancement. Employees get to choose where they wish to advance to, even laterally or demoting themselves for other possible prospects - Promotes diversity - Work place flexibility
Cons
The work environment is rather political, - Heavy emphasis on people development that doesn't apply uniformly across functions. - Favoritism is rampant; promotions are often given to favored individuals regardless of their experience or competency. Managers unjustly penalize those not in their circle, often citing unrelated scenarios reason for not promoting. - Compensation is secretive and unfair, with discrepancies noticed when compared to similar roles online and using standard deck and 'compa ratio' to justify. - Despite claims of people development, expats often occupy key roles while local employees struggle for opportunities. Employees frequently move roles, but promotions often go to those lacking necessary skills, resulting in ineffective team management. - Restructuring/retrenchment forces local employees to leave and having to train new employees in the new location - upright disgusting - I don't see 'people first' but upright 'business first'. Plus the period of been retrenched was completely off when job hunting is difficult - GPTW? review done before restructuring announcement. Smart move.
