Glam from external... Disgusted from within...
Pros: The only upside is the flexibility to "work from home"...
Cons: Although the so-called "work from home" flexibility, this organisation crawls it back effectively by dishing out the worst pay increment/ performance bonus year-on-year based on my experience with them for the past 4 years given the fact that my performance rating is consistently on a "Above-Average Contributor" (2+), whereby a 1 rating is considered top performer. So is this really considered an employee benefit or simply paying out of pocket for this flexibility??
In addition, I am expected to clock in minimum of 40 hours training per calendar year with ZERO training budget. This is the biggest joke thus far that I come across.... And what counts into the training hours? Team meetings, internal so-called "cross trainings".... which are not creating a positive impact to my career growth in anyway.
This is on top of the ever-demanding work environment that I am placed into, while working with team members from across the other regions.
