Pros

Worklife balance is not too bad generally, unless you are in CRA, CTM or Finance. 13th month bonus. That's about it.

Cons

Benefits are virtually non-existent. Nothing in pantry except water dispensing machine. People are generally not too friendly and not sociable, keep to themselves. No one joins any committee (social, health or charity), nothing fun going on, don't even have annual D&D. Office is cold & quiet like dead town. Senior management fly from Australia or US to SG office, asked for suggestions or improvements but no action thereafter. Company announces profits annually but bonus is like 2 weeks of your monthly pay or less. Increment is 3% or less annually. HR is like non existent, remotely managing from Philippines or India. Annual medical examinations only include height, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol. Not comprehensive nor beneficial at all. Relatively high turnover. Hardly any classroom training or guidance, pretty much everything is online learning, so if you are new hire you are pretty much on your own trying to figure things out yourself, pray that you have nice colleague to show you. Overall, messy, disorganised, low moral, bad culture with favouritism.

Pros

Annual bonus Friendly people Ongoing company SOP/WPD training

Cons

You'll progress up the career ladder if your a brown nose and your face fits in the "special group" Horrific Management/HR structure Performance Review Form is an absolute joke, positive feedback not taken into consideration -at managers discretion too! Over allocated, underpaid and generally a very stressful place to work
