The boss is very wealthy and is quite generous with salaries—as long as you can convince HR.

Snacks are replenished regularly, and it’s very close to an MRT station.

The atmosphere among colleagues is good, and people are willing to work hard together.

1. The boss is from mainland China and places great emphasis on academic credentials, but only knows about the top four universities in Europe and the US and is unaware of other strong ones. He believes that if he brings in a project and the product cannot be sold, it is the fault of the people below him. He fires people based on his mood, leaving those below completely baffled; they only find out from Marketing’s PowerPoint that the company apparently has such a product. Managers only need to be able to cater to the boss; ability is not important.
