Pros

- Good benefits and perks, if that is what you are looking for (not my case). - Good work life balance, flexible working hours, friendly and relaxed office environment. - Transformation ongoing with encouraging things to come.

Cons

- Some old fashioned management techniques, favouritism, top down decisions. But people working in the Singapore office seem to be accustomed to that (lots of EP holders). - Definitely not an Agile company yet, too many management layers and limited team autonomy. This is a work in progress but mentalities will take time to change. - Inefficient process and "hero" mentality, instead of streamlined robust team-based development and deliveries. - Too many restructurations, and one 10% lay-off this year : the strategy seems to be based on the stock markets' and investors' reactions, and the employees just pay the price.
