    Raises and promotions were based on favoritism, not merit.
    The good thingsIt’s a large company with a strong public image, but internal challenges are significant.
    The challengesAlthough the company has a strong public image, the internal culture can be difficult. Fairness was a common concern. Salary increments and promotions did not always seem to be based on performance alone. In some cases, if management did not favor you personally, it was unlikely that you would receive a raise, regardless of your workload or results. Benefits and welfare were limited, and salaries were low. Opportunities for growth were not always transparent. Career progression appeared to depend more on personal relationships and preference rather than clear performance standards. It was also not easy to express different opinions. Employees were generally expected to follow management decisions without much discussion. This created a working environment that felt more political than merit-based. Overall, the experience may not suit those who value fairness, transparency, and performance-driven growth.
