Pros

21 days Annual Leave and 21 days sick leave, can wear casual on Fri and eve of public holiday, can claim insurance annually(eg. rider), dental/optical SGD200/year, transport allowance of SGD100 for executive and above. Get to use Microsoft 365 enterprise account, good for work collaboration. Can come back late from lunch break and no one really care as long as you are productive and your work is justified.

Cons

Leaders are followers here, no room for creativity in setting strong marketing strategies. Lack of marketing creativity. Top mgmt select the wrong people to lead and does not retain talented ones that really knows how to work, talented staff does not get promotion when deserve. Must wait 2 years to be considered for promotion, depends on work contributed to the numbers. Chosen promoted leaders are based on tenure and flattery skills. Shortchange on VB to those who scored very well in KPI or worked hard to achieve more than what was expected in the year due to “bell curve” and “not your turn yet” attitude. Does not care on skillsets, as long as you are known for flattery, working late and sending emails at night to show you are hard working. Leaders have no idea how to optimize and fully use Cloud tech in MS365.

Pros

I had a very positive internship experience, Canon really values their interns and lets them do all sorts of special projects. All employees are super kind and I would love to return there full time if there is an opportunity available.

Cons

Must drive to Melville (no train station in walking distance)
