Pros
  • Great colleagues who are supportive and nice to each other.
  • Decent opportunities for learning through various talks and programs.
  • Good initiatives are taken at trying to bring about a better work/company culture.
  • A rather decent work-life balance can be achievable but highly dependent on the project and its planning.
Cons
  • Too many mid-management whom no one seems to know what they are doing all day except for attending meetings.
  • Lack of hands-on experience and technical knowledge in management, which can be evident at times.
  • Management can be rather apathetic towards career progression, with almost little or no check-in with you.
  • Mentorship and networking seem to be very rare, something rather odd considering that this is a common thing in other similarly sized companies.
  • Promotions and compensation adjustments/increments are rather low, almost negligible.
  • Poor planning and messy executions, with high attrition rates amongst technical staff, leading to a lot of messy projects.
