      Too bad I can't give a ZERO star rating.

      Pros

      Owner has deep pockets. I am not even sure if that counts.

      Cons

      Among all the other cons that I could put on here, CULTURE, LEADERSHIP, and HR PRACTICES are the 3 most obvious ones. And no, don't work for this company if you have a choice.

      Terrible ownership and management

      Pros

      Benefits package is better than average

      Cons

      Company does not empower employees but instead micromanages them and completely misses the bigger picture. Smart people do not thrive in this organization but people with no common sense do. Billionaire owner is paranoid people are trying to steal from the company and invents processes to stop them doing their job properly. CEO has no power and many of the senior management don’t report to him they report to the owner. They treat suppliers and customers poorly, always pay them late and try to renegotiate deals after they were agreed.

      Toxic work environment

      Pros

      It has good benefits. Can't think of anything else.

      Cons

      Poor management mentality. Asian company for Asian people (mandarin/indonesian languages might be necessary to understand the company culture). Toxic environment.
