Managers/Business stakeholders; it depends if their working style and communication style is within your threshold. We have the reasonable, understanding, nurturing types. On the other hand, we also have the de-motivators, the emotional, only question but no inputs, no guts types. Internal process; much to improve. Like most companies, feedbacks and suggestions from small regions are insignificant to the HQ. Be prepared to spend your time helping the people in different departments in HQ to speak to one another even though they are sitting in the same building and/or most probably speak the same language. For newcomers, be prepared to bang around to get answers as the People Directory/Wiki doesn't help to tell you what their role focus within their department. Consider yourself lucky if they are kind enough/have the knowledge to direct you to the right person in their department. Most decisions from the HQ are penny wise, pound foolish. From what I see, the HRs on the ground tried their best but as always there is always a limit how much they can do.
