Pros

Pay is not too bad, Bonus is decent BUT you have to stay on for the entire year to enjoy the remunerations.

Cons

Toxic working environment as there are cans of worms everywhere. If you are "lucky" enough to open a can - good luck as one can will lead to another and another Processes are plenty and too many red tapes. All Mgt knows is to add approval. Simple tasks can have so many layers that unnecessary time were spent chasing for them Lack of proper planning on some initiatives. Unrealistic deadline were given and it's common to get Mgt KIV decision when you are almost done. Some ADs (and even D) do not know what's going on. Approach them for advice or solutions is a waste of time. Many of these AD do not dare to offend the higher level and thus everything is - Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am You will be expecting calls or "urgent" emails on non office hour/weekends whereby they are actually not urgent. Perhaps to some of them, you are expected to cover 24x7 I left the company in less than 6mth

Pros

- Salary and benefit is ok, 1-4 months of bonus a year depending on performance, more than 20 days of annual leave. - Hybrid working. - Free drinks, snacks. - Some colleagues are friendly.

Cons

- No work-life balance. Project people will call you anytime even at 2AM, 5AM when you are sleeping if they "think" you are involved in Prod issue. If you missed the call because you worked too tiredly on day time they will escalate you to your boss. And the boss will blame you and remind you need to be "professional". - Poor management direction or direction is not clear. Many times just a command then you don't know what to do next or whom to check with. - Job scope is not clear. There are tasks assigned by manager/director which don't match your skill but without a clear direction or guidance. - No career path discussion. No chance to raise a voice. - Employee has to work with multiple projects concurrently. Each of them has a PM to chase you. - Heavy production go-live process. Too many steps of approval. - Govt based company so there are too many security layers and heavy approval process. - Very politic environment. - Not allow to bring corporate laptop out of SG due to security. - No AWS (13th month salary). - Poor team building activity. - This company just renamed to Synapxe so please be aware.
