Pros

Work life balance is the only saving grace. New campus so at least it is a modern facility as compared to Derby, RRD or Indy.

Cons

Nepotism of former GM/Delfi employees/senior management in Purchasing Singapore who form their own club and protect each other so that top managemetnt does not have visibility of what's going on. No job real job prospects, they rotate staff around roles not based of qualification/skills but by whether they have headcount. Keeping desk cleanliness is more important than doing real work. The senior mgt is so free as to do floor inspections to make sure that people are working at their desks.
