Pros
Incredibly smart and hardworking teammates (except some very toxic managers) Freedom to initiate and execute Can learn a lot very quickly (everything from strategy down to the details of execution) Flexibility to work from abroad I still believe in the idea of the product
Cons
Culture used to be great, it's turned toxic now, especially in Singapore. A lot of people have been silently pushed out of the company, particularly foreigners, and rehired in MY for lower cost (it's sad to witness how C-suite lies to everyone about 'having no issues with costs' yet making these decisions). While it's absolutely normal for a business to make these decisions, they've been executed in a very unpleasant manner leaving a lot of team members confused and anxious about their own roles. Especially of some team members who've been asked to leave on the day despite the fact that they stayed with the company for years. Cases like these have affected culture severely, and there's 0 trust amongst employees. Compensation package is below market standards and the explanations to that from C-suite are extremely vague. Stock options are very insignificant to majority of the team members. Increments and bonuses are almost non-existant and explanations are handled in a very unprofessional manner giving ridiculous childish excuses. Benefits are below average: 'comprehensive health insurance' can barely cover the basics, L&D budget has been cut, some managers are strict about days working from the office/abroad. Career opportunities are close to non-existant, if promotions happen, they do in a particularly intransparent manner. There's obvious favoritism. Business outlook seems very foggy for the future of the company. With growing competition, I genuinely start doubting if we as company can make it. Ignorant & incompetent management. Like a lot of other comments here say, there are major issues with middle and top managers. It seems like they really don't want to see the reality of the daunting situation company is. Some managers behave horribly, there were team members left crying after their 1:1s, they talk down, drop racist comments in team meetings. However, are great talkers and prepare beautiful slides :) I understand that no one is perfect, but majority of the managers are extremely selfish and don't care about your development.
