Great company, bad (tech) management in Singapore
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.
