Pros
Staff benefits are pretty decent and it might sound ridiculous as one of the pros, but the food options here at their Singapore office are amazing! Centrally located amongst 3 renown Hawker centres (Amoy, Maxwell and Hong Lim), the variety during lunch is hard to beat.
Cons
For someone who is ambitious, career driven and hungry to learn, this definitely isn’t the place to be. Progression isn’t necessarily based on merits, and there is lack of in-house talent nurturing programs. From the interaction I have had with the various department heads/managers, I believe most are not properly trained and equipped with managerial and leadership skills, which often result in low team morale and overworked subordinates. As the Organization is highly divisive with different political factions rooting for different agendas, it’s really a matter of whose favour are you in that ultimately gets to move things instead of sound and strategic reasoning. This isn’t uncommon across organisations but the divisive nature of how business teams are formed only serve to compound this issue more.
