Pros

five months of maternity leave for women, comprehensive health insurance and 21 days of annual leave. Great infrastructure and office environment. Most people you will be working with have great attitude and smart.

Cons

iT in singapore are slowly being outsourced to India, Ukraine and some other countries cheaper than singapore. Old time employees have low morale and are all just waiting to be fired so they get their package. Priorities and direction keep changing. Some employees who were asked to leave were offered contractual roles.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
