Pros

good worklife balance somewhat flexible working hours talent retention program available (mostly) respectable upper management members

Cons

Overall, a slow-paced company that might be more suitable for retirement planning. Technology development is slow, local knowledge is very poor due to strong reliance on Germany's support. Non-existent training opportunities. If you are looking for personal learning & development, u'd have better luck elsewhere. Job nature is repetitive & lack of new challenges. You pretty much lose interest 3rd year onwards. that's when all the talent retention programs come in - to tempt you to stay. Inter-department: no teamwork cross departments, office politics is common technique to shift workload & responsibilities. The department with stronger leaders win. passive-aggressive work culture. quality of middle management is very inconsistent - they are either incompetent, blindly following the top, or pushy and domineering. Intra-department: KPIs are not linked to staff's capability - we see low performing & defensive staff pulling the team down and supervisors do not care. lack of transparency in staff's career path and bonus scheme. strong tendency to penalize staff on medical & personal leaves, so much that attendance seems to be the only deciding factor for bonus allocation

Pros

Did not micromanage interns, gave interns a lot of independence with real projects that were not just busy work.

Cons

Pay was very little, did not offer sick time off, got COVID from work and had to take a week off and had to take it unpaid. No PTO either for interns.
