Cons
Esp. after the merger with Charted, a very bad working style emerged. - The management style went to a nearly army-like style of command and obedience. - Long and tedious escalation procedures to very high management levels for even the smallest things. - The lack of realism. Even if Data already shows that a target is impossible, it will not adjusted (or if only to set it higher to recover from the impossibility - Work Life Balance is very bad. Long working days, on weekends work from home is expected. The Global Orientation of the company sounds good, but many inter-cultural problems arise from that fact. My personal feeling is that the Singapore culture is transferred to the German and US-parts of the company .
