Pros

Big company, lots of opportunities, salary is not great but acceptable, a lot of chances to learn new stuff, many smart engineers if you are lucky to get into friendly group. I had a nice first group but poor second group.

Cons

Big company, slow movements, slow changes, chaotic decisions, chaotic strategy. People are over-depressed with overtime, strategy change, unorganized technology. Many people are leaving voluntarily.

Pros

I didn't see any pros in this company. They give good health benefits. In this place, people are coming from different culture and we can know about more cultures.

Cons

Managers asks lower level people advice and didn't consider advices. This place is not US work culture. The people brought Singapore work culture. Simple example, I need to work at any time if any problem in our applications. But they don't allow work from home if needed. I am working more than 2 yrs, I didn't get appreciation for my work and didn't get any bonus. They don't allow to fix the problems permanently because management thought it may lead to new problems and they don't allow test new logic. Here there is no professional growth.
