Pros

You still get steady income which is more than enough to at least live in Singapore although a lot lower than standard market.

Cons

Employees are being asked to give it everything they have while the company gives 'peanuts' without matching appreciation (the company is having good business but still cutting the bonus). Downsizing manpower too much while reducing 'token of appreciation', thus giving much more workload to the employees. Non-degree holder is unable to get promotion to be engineer level. The top management thinks they are moving towards the correct direction while they actually don't know what is the root cause of current bad situation. No proper training for fresh graduate. The management keeps shouting to everyone that they are supposed to be a thinker while their treatment to employees is not nurturing the employees (the opposite, the treatment makes the employees to be yes-man people). Another thing, HR keeps saying that there is good worklife balance here, but in reality there is no such thing as worklife balance here. If possible, work 24 hours without OT pay (the management really asks the employees to stay back without claiming OT).

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
