Pros

Good entry level position to get to know the industry. Great benefits Free soft drinks and imported beer for everyone Great kitchen appliance

Cons

Culture: bureaucratic, lack of respect for employees from certain people leaders. They scold you like a dumb kid, if you can't take the pressure from above and defend your own team member, then you need to learn how to be a leader from scratch. Long hours: 9 basic hours (9 to 6), they expect you to work over time( till you reach 46 hrs, there is no overtime pay, and they take this for granted. They jump at you when you are 15 mins late after you just stayed over 1 hr the day before,for free) US holiday: cause we serve US investors Promotion: there are great person leaders promoted, but quite a few of them are just hard workers without much management skills or silver tounges who knows how to show off, but I guess it's like that everywhere, especially when you are at the bottom of the chain.

Pros

Its best to work here for a few years and gain experience elsewhere.

Cons

Company went from 2 days on-site to now 3 days on-site, i dont mind it but this company has low morale and all the employees are sick of this place now. If you want a high salary but no opportunity to advance this is the place for you. 80% of the company is senior level and no room for growth or promotional opportunities.
