Business Outlook

Pros

Fast progression, good training, hybrid working

Cons

VERY high and stressful workload, high turnover rate, unpaid overtime, no work/life balance, you are “progressed” to new roles but they are just add-ons to the role of energy specialist, so you are juggling multiple jobs at the same time.

Supportive and flexible but unclear career progression

Business Outlook

Pros

The flexibility, diversity, multicultural environment, and strong support for working mothers are the key reasons I choose to stay here. I truly appreciate the inclusive and supportive workplace. Thank you!

Cons

There are not many barriers, but progressing vertically within the organization is not straightforward because the process and expectations are not clearly defined. Greater clarity on the steps and requirements for career advancement would make progression easier to navigate.
