Pros

Good pay, bonuses, and benefits.

Cons

No quality strategy, stuck in the past, too many layers of management, too many unnecessary jobs that cause confusion, and anti-proactive.

Advice to Management

Eliminate management layers, especially those which exist for Singaporean tax credits. Stop preferring the status quo and the past, and actually plan to solve problems. Understand your scope and eliminate excess teams in the Quality departments.
