The benefits are pretty good. In addition to a two-month year-end bonus, there’s also a special long-service bonus (one month for one year, two months for two years, and so on). Besides snacks and coffee, there’s fruit and afternoon tea every week, as well as a monthly fitness allowance and group meal. I’ve gained 5 kilograms since joining...

The work atmosphere is quite relaxed and pleasant. Basically, as long as the work gets done, the supervisor doesn’t interfere with what you’re doing during work hours. My supervisor, for example, has a very loud voice but is actually a pretty nice person.

Taking leave still involves paperwork, which feels very old-school, although leave is approved quite readily...

All the seats are in an open-plan layout, so you often hear other people talking. There are quite a few loud talkers in the company.
