Pros

- Great people but some can be robotic and only act according to SOPs - Flexible working hours with hybrid mode. That said, T&S (Trading part of the business) might have mandated days in office and timed arrivals because you'll need to support the traders. Not all job functions have this mandatory arrangements though. - Other benefits are ok, not exceptional and have become worse in the last 2 years. 18 days annual leave in Asia, for a bit of insights, if you first start, this will increase with every year of service.

Cons

- Rollercoaster rides: Poor job security of you're from more expensive hubs in Asia like Singapore because most likely your job won't be there in the next few years. Lots of reorganisations every year for different entities/ product lines. It sucks to have to train people to take over your job. Therefore, internal networking is important because it's more like "who you know" in a competitive reorganisation landscape. Don't buy in the GTKY culture, I find it surface at best. - If you're in Singapore and not Chinese, expect to be left out of conversations sometimes and they don't really care if you don't speak the language. English is still the professional language but there are many people who will built rapport through Mandarin. It's safe if you stick to expats but that's not the point of an international country let alone an MNC isn't it.
