Process
Simple but time-consuming. The process can be simplified, though, giving job seekers more time for other interview preparations. That would be very helpful for everyone.
Hope HR pays attention to it.

Growing Pains but Rewarding
Engineering Lead • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
October 4, 2018
Pros: 1. Potential valuable stock awards.
2. Leader in the ride-hailing industry in Southeast Asia, with other growing areas in addition to ride-hailing, such as Food, Express Delivery, Groceries, and many more to come.
3. Unicorn startup with huge market share.
4. Work that I am doing directly impacts our customers.
5. Above-average base pay for the area.
6. Work time is flexible and more task-driven.
7. Despite being in the US, we have the CTO, CEO, etc., visiting quite often from Singapore.
Cons: 1. Some projects are cross-sites (although not common), and those require collaboration across time zones.
2. The company grew too fast, so getting things to market fast is important to grab market shares, thereby accumulating tech debt.
3. Moving from a startup to an established company often requires some amount of process. We need to define those processes.

Expectations are getting higher
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Singapore, Singapore
November 27, 2025
Pros: Upper management provides various support for employee growth, e.g., making the adoption of AI tools mandatory for employees, which not only benefits the company's productivity but also employees' growth.
Cons: Recently, a new policy was introduced for SE roles. G3 has 4 years to be promoted to G4 (senior), and G4 has 5 years to be G5 (lead). Crossing that will mean getting PIP and being retrenched.
