Managers all got to their positions because they have been in the company for many years, not because of how competent they are. Incompetent people stay for a long time (as long as they play the politics game), hence the "talent pool" where management comes from. If you do a good job, you are seen as a threat. Internal mobility is virtually non-existent. They make it extremely difficult by having ridiculous rules all around. I NEVER saw something like this anywhere.

Poor work life balance, politics

Hours can be quite long

Lay-offs are massive and happen often, back to back.

The people. Management is juvenile and show obvious bias towards their favorites and blatant rudeness towards those that aren’t.

Some managers are toxic and too pokeing

Change can be either liked or disliked

Some people may find processes overwhelming. But, streamlining of the processes is already happening.

1. Employees are mostly vendors of foreign nationality and there is a lack of support and guidance from them. More often that not, when guidance is needed, they will just totally ignore your request for help. 2. No clear directions and guidance from manager. When a particular task is assigned to you, there is no whatsoever details about the task that will be shared to you. They just expect you to know everything.
