Pros

Market rate remuneration, flexible benefits, family leave/child care, medical benefits, insurance coverage for you and your family (spouse & children).

Cons

Management decision is a one direction thing, they are not much listening to feedback from the bottom line. Not much of growth in your position, no parking or meal allowance available for people that are below managers level. If you are not foreign workers, company will not be able to buy back your leave, if you are not Malaysian residing in Singapore, company will not be able to provide you hotel room to stay with monthly allowance of $600.
