Pros

None - the company's culture is toxic to the core (at least its singapore office). Run by an insecure megalomaniac desperate to micro-manage every facet of your life, there's no room for growth. A sweatshop to collect a paycheck from with no hope of progression or increments as business model is driven on slave labour

Cons

There's nothing right about this firm to begin with - long hours, low pay, immature superiors. I wouldn't take anything seriously.

Pros

Some good people that really care about what they do Enjoyable place to work Provides a good platform to express opinions and have an effect on the future of the business if you push hard enough Small enough to have plenty of face to face interaction with teams and people Having an innovation week for the technology firm is great Ability to have a degree of creative freedom if you avoid involving certain known individuals that continually act as blockers to change Nice social scene and friendly working environment with some nice people CEO will buy you a beer and know everyones name which is very rare and a nice touch

Cons

Really need to cut out the "good thomsons person" and "pink" brain washing, at times it seems like a cult initiative and it felt a bit uncomfortable seeing some individuals brain washed that didn't know any better. Silly internal politics between teams that want all the power Some people have only worked one company their whole life so are institutionalised and don't get the bigger picture Need to look at the technology industry and see what others are doing to evolve Not bleeding edge from a technology stand point No long term aligned technology plan from senior management to make the company better from a technology delivery perspective Management are happy doing daily fire fighting as a day job rather than leading teams to delivery excellence A lot of people are sitting tight hoping for a company sale as they have "shares" and not interested in changing to adopt industry standard best practices or improve which is poor
