Pros

- Hybrid working arrangement - Attractive perks (e.g., extra employer EPF contribution) - 24 days of paid leaves for most employees

Cons

This is my second review after the "Gold Standard of Chaotic Management". Later months, I was assigned to a new team that supposedly "transformed" those badly written smelly projects, and to no one's surprise, the execution of the project was another record-new level of chaos, - Many things went undocumented, - no source for requirements, - ideas were spontaneous, - plans and tasks were freshly baked on that day, - decisions were made in closed door with no way to backtrack, dev engineers need explicit enquiries to find out, Even a freshman would think the project is not ready, yet the management urged for a release, not feeling surprised again, the testing phase was beyond the definition of "confusion", QA engineers couldn't locate the requirements, PIC either gave vague answers or MIA for days, dev engineers got played the whole time. At the end, QA defined the requirements, and those requirements would change every day depending on new information they enquired. The management didn't care about the progress, they only want to see anything that worked. The whole project defied the purpose of transformation, it will just be another project that goes down the drain.
