Good company to work for

Pros

A good company with a strong brand, attract lots of smart talents. Good development and training programmes, strong value throughout the organisation and respected/practiced by every employees.

Cons

A lot of processes, sometimes too much time spent on managing processes. Tendency to over-engineer simple things, too much collaboration and rounds of engagements required before a decision can be made. The job rotations every few years require the employees to make their own career, make their own connections to secure next job they want.

Good company to work, with lots of politics

Pros

- Good learning opportunities - If you work hard, you'll be recognised and rewarded if you're at the lower chain of the organisation - Competitive salary/compensation/benefits package

Cons

- The organisation is shrinking in size, with the 3-4 year job rotation system you'll need lots of luck and networking to maintain your job within the company - Political, slow on decision making and constant rework
