Pros

For some time, we had good autonomy and shipped useful products.

Cons

Raises are low to zero. The stock price hasn't changed in 2 years. Managers expect you to be "butt in seat" 9-7 every day. Grab is run like a Chinese company, not an American tech company. They will work you hard and tell you you are blessed to have a job. Leadership is not transparent. So many people who joined 1.5 years ago have all gone, pushed out or so tired of management they left. Diversity is a joke. If you're the wrong person on the wrong team, watch your back. Mobile builds take 45 minutes, and somehow they want you to be able to code fast.

Advice to Management

Be transparent, reward people, and watch your diversity numbers.
