The monthly salary at headquarters is low, but the bonuses total six months’ pay, and there is almost always a salary adjustment every year. There is a company-issued mobile phone number, gift vouchers for the three major holidays, and the overall benefits are quite good. Work usually ends on time, with occasional overtime (possibly depending on the department).

I’ve seen several managers berate people as if they were dogs, showing great disrespect toward employees. Some of them scold people at every meal, so you need strong mental resilience and a submissive nature to adapt.

Large companies come with a pile of unnecessary procedures, and they don’t seem interested in improving efficiency. Many tasks are passed back and forth, like in a government agency.

Every year, they set goals that are impossible to achieve, then afterward criticize employees for not meeting them. If a manager has a bad temper, you get scolded at every meal again. The entire work environment is rather dull and lacks energy (after being scolded by managers until you’re full, it’s impossible to have any energy).
