Pros

Suits people who only cruise, willing to do what management wants and keeps quiet.

Cons

No clear APAC business strategy to grow; only focus on cost cutting, Politicking people and management favourites have it a lot easier. Lack of accountability is a common trait. Slackers can just get away with a lot of things.

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.
