Pros

1) Flexi hour is implemented however it really depends on which department you are in. 2) Before Covid, applying for work from home leave is already an option allowed by the company. Many department are practising but only strictly if your superiors allow. 3) Canteen food/drinks is heavily subsidised.

Cons

1) I am unfortunate to be in a dept whereby they are really strict with “Flexi hours” and the head constantly check what time we come in and leave. Some department head are more lenient as Long as things are done. 2) Again, related to point 1, the dept I am in the head of dept is very rigid on allowing the staff to apply for Work from home leave. Most of us didn’t apply due to fear. 3) Canteen food tends to get boring overtime 4) Web base ERP system which is not user friendly and rigid. Lots of administrative and manual work due to incompetent system. Many different steps is required just to check something and amendment is impossible unless you delete the old and you redo. 5) No communication between different departments. Departments pushing responsibility away can be seen here. 6) Very micromanage style from superiors. 7) TOP down management. MD says A means A. 8) Plenty of old staffs (including managers) worked here as their first job until now. Hence a lot of not so IT savvy staff where you might need spend a lot of time guiding/explaining to them. Also very stubborn, proud and rigid to changes, always think they are right.

Pros

Nice colleagues. Fun products to sell.

Cons

No stock, you get the sale but can't ship on time. Things move very slow. Antiquated software. Things go unresolved and projects never get completed. The salaries seem on average 20% below market but they tell you otherwise. I think everyone there is looking for something else. They are getting more strict and taking some of the few perks away.
