Svantaggi
While the company culture is strong, individual management styles can vary significantly. In my experience, some managers can be overly restrictive, limiting open communication and taking full control of all decision-making. Additionally, while the company provides generous budget for annual increments, the allocation process can sometimes feel subjective. I have observed instances where the majority of the budget is consistently awarded to a manager's "favorite" employees rather than being distributed based on broader merit.
