Pros

five months of maternity leave for women, comprehensive health insurance and 21 days of annual leave. Great infrastructure and office environment. Most people you will be working with have great attitude and smart.

Cons

iT in singapore are slowly being outsourced to India, Ukraine and some other countries cheaper than singapore. Old time employees have low morale and are all just waiting to be fired so they get their package. Priorities and direction keep changing. Some employees who were asked to leave were offered contractual roles.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
