Pros

What pros I can see is the onboard package with 4 mil VND for buying home setup, hybrid working

Cons

• They just don’t want you to move from Junior to Senior level. The grade change process is a joke, with no clear criteria to determine if you are qualified, have enough experience, or are ready for the change. • What you can do at TW is everything and keep all evidence for review, but they will always find a reason to reject you. • The People Team is unprofessional and lacks knowledge of labor laws, and the process is inconsistent between countries. • Performance appraisals are a joke. They assign a Performance Partner from another project and country, someone who has no knowledge of your performance. • There is no reasonable explanation for layoffs; they are not transparent and keep everything secret. • They claim to promote diversity and equality, but people from Thailand only protect Thais, leaving out people from other countries. • Constructive feedback from this company is also a joke.
