Pros

It is a very financially stable global company

Cons

Too much red tape, Regional Asia Leadership does not eminate the Mission and Vision of ITT. No check and balance of management system from Asia RCW level. Singapore employees does not respect inclusion and diversity, very bias and does not respect cultural difference. Leadership style of the Asia Pacific Team is very unprofessional Too much time wasted on international conference calls but decisions go thru long process which delay results Too much reporting requirements and matrix but eventually plans fall into cracks RCW Asia Team are reactive, management team are either old school long termed employees or newbies who pretend to be all know how Performance Evaluation is a Joke If you are OK to be humiliated and shout at in open meetings then you should consider to be an employed in the RCW Asia company. It is an Engineering company but currently have more than 350 HR personnel worldwide who yearly are given the opportunity to travel in different countries in the world for the well spent HR conferences compared to the engineers given more opportunities.

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
