Over the past year, everyone has been required to take annual leave together during specific periods. Annual leave should be scheduled by the employees themselves, but it has turned into the company arranging it for you.
If you are a new employee, seven days a year effectively get scheduled by the company.
Colleagues develop strong bonds through adversity
Apart from the basic 14 months of pay, don't expect too much from the rest.
Recently, many senior employees were laid off (it was reported in the news).
The organization here is complex, with more managers than frontline employees, and the bureaucracy is severe.
The HR person was nice. The manager conducting the interview was more than an hour late, apologized, chatted with you, and offered some helpful advice. When employees resign, they receive a caring phone call, with a sincere effort to understand why the employee wants to leave.
The manager conducting the interview was far too late and also liked to fish for information, asking about the previous company’s situation and business, collecting information rather than focusing on the interviewee.
The work atmosphere is good, and the manager is quite nice.
There are many tasks, and they are quite miscellaneous; the bonuses are not very substantial (I guess that’s about the same for system manufacturers).
