Pros

- Good colleagues - Good benefits - global and regional exposure - great place to learn

Cons

- leadership is a old boys club with leadership rotation done within the circle. - lack of movement or growth unless you are connected to godfather or Godmother within the company. - lacks diversity in leadership with one nationality tends to be dominant - locals Singaporeans not treated well, or promoted. - losing good local talents who are disappointed with the culture of the Singapore office - Certain managers should mind their own business rather snooping around other employees affairs -lack of trust
