Pros

Good training, great R&D values from high up that (sometimes) filter all the way down. Some very cool technology depending on what team you end up in - however you get a good amount of choice following the training.

Cons

Depending on the team, projects can be thrown around and dumped based on the whim of the customer. Sometimes it feels less like a programming job and more like a juggling exercise.

Pros

Foreign employees literally pay 0 for work visa, available option to relocate/transfer to different city once you're hired. A lot of financial product training, because this role accepts a lot of fresh grads/people with no finance background. You can leave work on the dot. If you have kids/family issues, work from home is an option. Coffee and breakfast are sponsored. Many volunteer programs all employees can participate. If you're a driven learner, it's easy to get started & mingle with other experienced employees.

Cons

Culture wise, it's not perfect but this job attracts a lot of like-minded, reasonable, hardworking and honest talents that don't really go all out to harm others for their own benefits. Job wise, learning curve is steep in the beginning, flattens out after 8-9 months. Very number driven, schedule is micro managed, you can't have "idle time" cos they're watching you out.. Service impact is limited since we're chasing numbers. Business decision is made top down from HQ so we're just executing a strategy that doesn't really apply to most of our clients in Asia. Yet management wants everyone to be superhumans that hit both number and quality of service.. Not sure if this is a bad thing or just reality of working for data vendors cos everyone's fresh out of school and hardly ever been working in clients' side. Great place to start but not a place to stay forever.
