Pros

1. Able to offer renumeration above market average 2. Lunch catering 3. Good overall health insurance benefits 4. Metrics-focused

Cons

1. Toxic leadership - unclear business direction (depends on department, since the company is generating so much revenue?) 2. Political -vivid and obvious preference over performance for any recognition or promotion 3. Human resource (HRBP lead are from mainland china) - keeping up with the labour laws finding ways to bypass to manage people out 4.6 months performance review cycle - leadership can kick out employees within shorter time frame relative to other tech companies 5. Foreigners dilution - migration of Chinese nationals to Singapore offices
