Typical red flags you would find in a toxic 'we are a family' culture that the APAC president wants to cultivate. It has created so much unnecessary politics and favoritism. If you are competent and professional, avoid this office. If you excel at playing the corporate game, this is the place for you. You know something is wrong when your best employees are leaving in the middle of a recession. The company turns over the majority of its workforce every other year. It's alright if the leaders don't have the best knowledge or technical expertise. However, it is not alright when you have to deal with a president who has been promoted internally without real-world experience in running a proper company and has the temperament of an 8-year-old, going at you when things don’t go smoothly. Management is always finding a black sheep to blame but never look themselves in the mirror. This creates a toxic culture where employees can only rely on each other for counselling, since HR and management are so disconnected from the ground. As a result, management and top leadership don't provide employees with the support they need. There’s a reason leadership and management have been with the company for a very long time and won’t be leaving: It's not because they don’t want to, but because they can’t survive out there in the professional world. Having said all these, I still have love for ESET as a brand and a global company. More check and balance are needed to ensure fair treatment of employees.
