Pros

- strict hours help you have a routine - exposure to good projects - work-life "balance" - company is cash-rich - Opportunity to work overseas

Cons

- company culture talks about focusing on people but they have no qualms about letting people go if you don't get along with the SG CEO - company is cash rich but at the expense of their people - CEO will review late times (even CCTV) and who is taking longer than half-hour lunch hour and penalize staff for it - if you're posted overseas, you're on your own in terms of taking care of yourself

Pros

Many employees have been here a long time. There is a bunch of knowledge across all departments in which you can learn a lot from. Everyone is willing to take time out of their day to help you.

Cons

Most departments in which their employees are able to perform their job duties remote are allowed to work a hybrid schedule, while others are required to be in office full time. Should be a company wide policy and not left up to each manager. Don't allow new hires to negotiate for more than the minimum 3 weeks starting vacation even though they have 15+ years of professional work experience and 5+ weeks of vacation at their previous employer.
