Pros

- Good bonuses with basic benefits - Have a active wellness committee that arranges eventful activities for employees - Able to find some colleagues who are nice and helpful - Pro-drinking alcohol environment (good for those heavy drinkers) - Yearly overseas bonding trip for all employees, 3 - 4 days - Opportunity to travel overseas for work and training, engaging with international colleagues (thailand, china, japan)

Cons

- Low basic salary - Micro-managed environment, most of the time waiting for higher management to make decisions - High possibility to suffer from health issues, both mentally and physically (prepare supplements to help). - All achievements are always credited to the top management and not to individuals - No career progression unless after working for 10 - 15 years, it's a flat management organisation - Employees are expected to work overtime regularly to prove that they are hardworking and to earn a higher appraisal

Pros

This is a well-established company with friendly employees and an on-site clinic for employees. The job security seems steadier here than with other jobs in this field,

Cons

It's out in the middle of nowhere. With the return to the office and less and less flexibility, work life balance seems to be shifting away from the company motto of "people-centric management".
