• Good & smart colleagues, mostly.
• Good benefits.
• More or less stable company compared to other tech peers, although you still have a small chance of layoff.
• It is good for your career if you don't mind sacrificing your personal time.

• Poor work-life balance: long hours and weekends. You sometimes have to work full days on weekends in some teams. Some senior leaders also tend to romanticize working weekends. It also depends on the team, so if you are lucky, you might land in a team with good work-life balance.

• You are required to be on-call (24-hour standby) during peak periods, even though you are L3 support. Again, some teams don't require that.

• Some coworkers like to text the team during personal hours, such as late nights or weekends, on WhatsApp. There seems to be a culture where you have to show you are hard-working to get a promotion.

• Corporate wants to bring employees back to the office 100%.

• Process-heavy, old tech. You will get tied to a very niche project with a small scope and do the same thing throughout, while your knowledge becomes outdated.

Please help improve the work-life balance in some teams.

Please don't bring back employees to the office 100% when it is also equally productive to let them work from home.

Daily commute is tiring if you live far.
