    I had a long career there for 18 years. Joined as an executive and got promoted to director level.
    The good thingsI really loved my last job and enjoyed working with local & business partners. They are indeed supportive. Although it was challenging to deal with an indecisive superior, but it allowed me to learn to talk to the right person at the right time.
    The challengesLack of company core values, no fairness of performance appraisal on employees, to lead by example, to develop healthy corporate governance and to cultivate open communication.
