Pros

Competitive salary package if they really want your skill sets, occasional gift boxes, daily free lunch credits, autonomy and flexibility

Cons

Culture: Could be real toxic, super political, long hours, many don’t take ownership in their work People: Might have very competitive and showy teammates who will try to outshine you (with dirty tricks) to amaze the manager to get a promotion, lazy and avoid taking more tasks because the manager doesn’t have visibility who is doing what Work: Heavy workload, a lot of redundant and manual work that requires you to spend longer time to complete a task, no proper processes, no KPI to measure your performance, poor communication between teams especially when collaborating on projects Management: In denial, only wanna hear good things, not all managers have leadership. Some don’t care about your wellness (text you at night, keep getting you to do work for him/her to claim credits for, without knowing what you are doing day in day out, pretend to hear your feedback but don’t really make changes). No grooming/mentorship, you’re just on your own, hardly get any feedback to help you improve, more like a machine to repeat your job every day.

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
