Pros

They genuinely care for staff welfare. Great work/life balance with decent pay for the industry in Singapore. The values, vision and mission also mean that the work often comes with a sense of higher purpose.

Cons

The company lacks real direction and you are often asked to do work for products that are obvious duds. Promotion is also hard as senior posts tend to be filled by expats or external hires. e.g Country Director and Head of Teaching Centre is always an expat.
