Pros

Competitive salary and overtime pay are given at SG location which many employees (especially engineers) routinely abuse the system by staying back to do non-work related issues.

Cons

Poor company outlook with retrenchment ongoing to save cost. Multiple instances of pay freeze in the last few years. Typical American culture to fire when times are bad and rehire when times are good. Local SG culture is dominated by management who has know each other for many years and promotions are determined by "who's is in the inner circle". Sometime new hires are "earmarked" without them doing anything and as long as they don't do anything wrong, they are on the express track.

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
