Pros

1. Foodpanda allowance for lunch and dinner allowance for OT 2. Decent salary package compared to other companies

Cons

1. Poor job security, high turnover rate - many colleagues leave after short stints 2. No work life balance; constant pressure to meet tight deadlines; constant lark message after work and weekends 3. Fast results is often prioritized over quality of work, in the long term we have to clean up those fragile, less maintainable and irreponsible way of writing code to get things done previously 4. Frequent chinese communication in the workplace despite years of effort to "internationalize" and encourage English usage 5. Don't feel appreciated for our hard work

Pros

- Complimentary food and drinks in the office - Some co-workers are working hard and friendly - Hybrid work that can work 2 days from home

Cons

- The company experienced hiring followed by layoffs, which raised concerns about workforce planning. - No severance package, career transition assistance, or visa support was provided following the layoff, which negatively impacted the perception of the company's employee culture. - There was a tendency to assign blame rather than focus on collaborative problem-solving.
