Pros

1. Great place to work if you know how to play politics.

Cons

1. Lost a piece of my soul working for this company for a few years. The people in this company from top to bottom have no idea what they are doing. 2. CEO and higher management is more concerned pushing the blame onto employees than taking it (hint: look at the Glassdoor reviews. They NEVER admit they have any fault. Practically saints.) 3. Always making it a point to squeeze the clients once a contract is signed by over promising and under delivering. For example, they may promise a certain head count but it's really a phantom headcount with people pulled from various projects to make up numbers temporarily to show clients when they ask. The company typically will rig the acceptance tests and deliver a half-baked product with the hidden (though painfully obvious) agenda of making more $$$ through maintenance contracts. 4. All these might actually be endurable if the company actually has any core competency and there is any degree of decent software engineering. But the so-called "engineers" here know nuts about engineering practices. You are paid to delivery on the bare minimum to satisfy the wording of the contract and nothing more. Developing software here is like zombies trying to fix a car with a kitchen sink. This phrase doesn't make sense because nothing in the company makes sense. All the software I have delivery is crap because that's what the management wants and is satisfied with. I can't say anyone in the company is genuinely proud of the work we have produced (nor any of our clients).

Remotely, work wherever you want

Cons

- no insurance if you are outside singapore. - they can kick you anytime, you are not defended by the government because you don’t have any working visa. - standby whenever you are. - if you are in singapore maybe its not that bad.

Thanks for the review. It is really interesting for me to read, as It is difficult to understand how could this review reflect working at S2T. The company and the management are committed to provide the best service possible to our customers, even when it is hard, and even when it involves unexpected costs or challenges. Real-world projects have their challenges, and the S2T approach is to use teamwork to overcome challenging customers and projects. As part of our journey, we may have individuals who do not fit into the environment and are unable or unwilling to adapt, and those may choose to leave. It is not clear why would you carry a grudge and claim that the company needs to close and have over a hundred people lose their job... In any case, it appears to have been a good thing we have parted ways. I still hope you will look back on your time with S2T and could see something positive, perhaps something new you may have learned. Wishing you all the best in your career as a software developer, wherever it takes you.
