Pros

Company is growing, team-members are friendly, decent pay

Cons

The technology management is extremely bad in Singapore. There is an air of "holier than thou" attitude from the software manager towards the team members. He doesn't give any room for people to think and expects everyone to execute "tasks" which he himself writes. He just trust anyone and micro-manages. Add to it, extreme favouritism and nepotism shown towards people who he likes personally and who will do whatever he asks them to do. Take for instance, one of his former colleagues who he personally brought into the company without any interview. This person, though is technically sound, but doesn't do any work at all and is having a happy ride because the manager backs him to the core. But if you are in the bad side of the relationship with him, your happiness is spoiled. There was even a team member, who is this extremely hard-working guy, was forced to leave because he wasn't in good terms with the manager. He also treats the team members as if they are a throw-away paper. He questions them with a curt, indifferent attitude and shows faces when you make a mistake and makes you feel extremely sorry. I can see a few of the team mates mentally disturbed to the point of talking to themselves while walking down the hallway.

Pros

Very nice group of people, treating each other with respect. Genuine interest in helping others. Your ideas are valued and you have the freedom to carry out your ideas to execution.

Cons

The overall standard here is very, very low across all areas: - Management team is incompetent and no one seems to have been trained properly on managing people. There are way too many "managers", some managers are surplus to requirements. - Short-term focus, strategies are set up to gain some quick wins (like undercut hotel's prices) but changed monthly since quick wins and taking shortcuts aren't sustainable for building a business. Hotel partners are usually upset with how the business is conducted here. - The work is very challenging, not hard but challenging because there's a complete lack of support from other teams, you're pretty much on your own once you start. Your peers will help you if you have questions but other than that, you have to do everything from small to big tasks to handling tough conversations from hotels as a result of bad business practices. The root cause here is the wrong business focus, if they were to focus and care more for partners, they would have invested more in building strong support teams to make sure partner's satisfaction is at the highest level. Of course, that mindset doesn't exist here. - The tools and systems are poorly maintained and break down all the time, local operations team aren't capable of handling basic business needs. - Average benefits and salary, if you're exchanging your labor for money, and for all the little things you have to do here, you aren't compensated fairly.
