Software engineer

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The salary looks promising for the first job. All people here in Singapore are very young, so you may have a good chance.

Cons

The company does not have much freedom for programmers to choose what they want to do.

A Complete Farce

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-High salary for fresh graduates, way above the market rate. -Flexi-work improves productivity. -Sincere and congenial colleagues -Some senior staffs are genuinely passionate -Great breadth in work scope

Cons

-Salary increments are virtually non-existent before you move up to the next level of hierarchy (they always tell you 10% increments, but subsequently deducts 10% from your annual bonus..). Besides, which company in the 21st century still standardize employee salaries across the globe? Haven't they studied basic compensation bench-marking? To think that they actually do HR systems is unimaginable. -Completely clueless in global business operation - half the senior staffs cannot even complete a single sentence in English verbally, not to mention conducting business globally. -Lack of competent leadership and training for juniors. -Unethical way of doing business that doesn't work outside Japan -Pessimistic business performance for years (performance is not published as they are not a listed company but you can easily get from research databases)
