Pros

Most colleagues are really nice - learned a lot from people here who had contributed to my growth, professionally and personally. Lunch was provided too so it was nice.

Cons

There are some that might need more caution as I find some of them are double-faced, so there are times you don't know who you can trust, just need to be mindful of those. Promotion system is also poor and slow - Some manager have strong favoritism towards certain individuals too.
