Pros

A few colleagues are great to work with though most have left the company in the past 1 year.

Cons

This is a terrible place for software engineers to work and grow. The management does not know how to run a software engineering team. Group managers only cares about sales and billable hours and not genuinely developing technical skills of employees, basically dumps all responsibility of running and developing the team to others. Project managers have no technical background and doesn't know how to gather and manage requirements in a software project, ended up project in a total mess and had to rewrite a lot of code/features as clients rejected them or because of conflicting requirements. On top of that, the requirements were always changed by the project managers (it's dumbfounding). Management is aware of the issue but nothing was improved and no transparency as to who were responsible or what went wrong. The management runs the software engineering team like a bunch of amateurs. Also, you will have colleagues who call themselves software engineers but don't code? It's a joke. The actual coding team has probably less than 5 people. In the past 1 year alone, 2-3 very good developers and a senior developer have left the coding team of 5 people. When there is a lack of coding projects, management asks software engineers to work on non-coding related projects which are basically software installation and configuration for process control/automation software, and data entry using excel sheets. Penning this review to save future developers from going into a terrible environment for software developers/coders. This is one of those companies masquerading as a software company. Go in at your own risk!

Not too bad

Pros

Lots of learning opportunities, salary is not bad when compared to competitors. Able to start on project management early as compared to similar companies as well. Fellow engineers are very friendly and welcoming, and willing to teach if time allows. Depending on project, work-life balance is pretty good.

Cons

Unfortuntely, projects with work-life balance are far and few between. Salary may not be worth the hours you're working for, benefits are poor (though it may be the same among the industry peers I suppose). Even with not many leave days, many engineers end up being unable to take it as they are too busy and contract does not allow carry-over. Learning opportunities are good if youre in the right projects but it comes at the cost of your time and balance. Your direct manager isnt really managing you, more of just a sales engineer that talks to you occasionally. Sometimes over-pushing sales to hit sales KPI but lack of talent management results in not having enough engineers for project Your project manager would be managing you provided they have time. The efforts in retaining staff are minimal, and engineers are left to deal with the extra work load when people are resigning. Bonuses are average (approximately 14-14.5 months including AWS)
