Pros

Good office facilities and employee benefits

Cons

Having a vile manager who loves to micro-manage in the eyes of "Efficiency", when all she actually cares about are internal politics that might be about her. Extremely 2-faced and hypocritical as well. When other team needs help, we are actually obligated to help, and they would also shamelessly make us do their job without an ounce of gratitude or appreciation. Reporting officer title for show, no say or authority in anything. No decision-making power as well, literally like a pet to its owner with a golden food bowl as a reward for being a "good boy" all these years. If you want an internal transfer, be prepared to stay in your current dreadful position for 3 years first before you want to consider any transfer, and it's not even guaranteed. Basically, just put on a facade and try to get into the good books of your manager first, same goes for career progression. Wait for at least 3 years maybe. If you are not from a local uni, be prepared to be low-balled, don't say I didn't warn you. This company is full of foreigners, China people mostly. Have to give it to China people for being extremely smart and hardworking, but a handful of them are damn entitled. Personally, feel this sense of entitlement is manifested in this company for worshipping them. We have at least 50 new hires every WEEK, because turnover rate is ridiculously high but of course it's justifiable.
