Pros

Average package, Hybrid mode, nothing extra

Cons

1. Parachuted “people managers” push you to take on work beyond your scope for more than a year, and it ends up becoming your duty, without extra pay or officially signing a new JD 2. A group of cronies seems to monopolize and control key decisions and leadership positions. Many roles are filled without being opened for application, no fair opportunity or transparency. Especially a lot of so-called “people managers" parachuted from the second-largest economy
