Summarizing the messages left by previous employees: Simply put, if you’re highly capable, this is a welcoming place to coast toward retirement.
If you’re mid-level and looking for someone to learn from, you may still find it faster to Google things yourself.
Pros
1. You have extra time to research things on your own.
2. A snack cabinet with a small selection of snacks.
3. Gift money for the three major holidays and birthdays.
4. Birthday celebrations every two months.
5. High chances of winning prizes in the year-end party raffle.
6. Flexible start time (09:00–09:30), lunch break (12:00–13:30); working hours are 09:00–18:00.
7. Little overtime.
8. The air conditioning is very cold and powerful.
9. No company trips (I heard this was because someone kept not going, so they couldn’t organize one...)
10. A refrigerator, water dispenser, microwave, and coffee machine.
11. Colleagues get along well (they don’t pry too much, but will make small talk).
12. The company is very good at packaging and marketing.
13. Later, so-called morning meetings and regular meetings were introduced to keep track of one another’s progress.
14. There is a YouBike station nearby, so you can ride there.
Cons
1. The company-provided PCs have average specifications (e.g., i5 + 8 GB RAM / i3 + 4 GB RAM, 21" monitors, etc.).
2. No clear promotion system.
3. No clear salary structure.
4. Salary increases are unimaginably small.
5. Some distance from the MRT and train stations.
