- Office environment needs to be improved as some facilities are outdated
- Some particular teams are mismanaged and very hard to work with (although some teams are great)
- No free parking
- OT dinner really need to improve quanlity and increase buget as people stay later for important works and deserve a nice meal to relief from pressure
- Not very competitive salary for testers and QA compare to other dev positionsAdvice to Management
- Should not promote people to manager only based on their seniority and technical knowledges, leadership and people skill is also important and should considered.
