Pros

Decent salary and staff benefits. Office is at a good location and easily accessible. Near eating places though crowded at lunchtime

Cons

Manipulative management that does not value its staff. Lots of unnecessary processes and backward in its systems. Cost cutting is always priority and at the expense of staff. The mgt has no qualms of terminating staff and there is word that some would be asked to leave (again). Extreme office politics where there is no trust but loads of suspicion. When a mistake is made, instead of addressing the issues and moving on, what’s key is to fingerpoint and find a scapegoat. Lack of focus and the direction keeps changing based on personal emotions and needs. In a nutshell, it looks pretty on the outside but has an ugly heart.

Pros

Benefits are ok and colleagues friendly

Cons

MD who thinks he needs a handful of ppl to run the company and that others are useless.He listens to staffs who he likes (who he brought in and promote them) as opposed to be independent.He uses his ears as to his brains to run the company. KPI is to be early to work as opposed to staff doing their work is the company goal in deciding to give bonus and increment to that staff. HR who is very slow and inefficient to attend to emails but sending warning letter is fast and they send it out when it is middle of the year so that that staff will not get anything.All this time HR is sleeping..they purposely target certain individual.MD favourite ppls are not given letter although they r all late.HR is basically a dummy to do those acts.All the awards received by company is based on the previous MD's work.This MD has only caused stress and the break among staffs in the company.

Pros

Work life balance - workload is manageable, hardly had to OT while I worked there Good support system - helpful colleagues, very bonded as we work hard together to manage our crazy bosses

Cons

Senior mgmt (GM and above) are temperamental and indecisive - no clear direction and keeps changing decisions based on their mood. Some have severe behavioral issues causing distress to their staff. It was very mentally draining for me when I was there. Stingy to employees lack of foresight in terms of spending - always trying to cut cost but sacrifice quality
