Pros

Great if you are a foreigner and want to use Singapore as a stepping stone to other countries

Cons

Company treats foreigners very favorably/too many unnecessary business trips especially for those based in the Sg office for "meetings" and "projects". Incompetents (and unqualified i.e. no degrees/professional qualifications) are promoted/kept in roles that require actual competence and experience because they are foreigners/old-timers who are way too capable of pushing blame to others and covering up their incompetence.

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
