Pros

Flexible work schedule and management are understanding towards individual people's needs. Retrenchments benefits and compensation are very humane.

Cons

Due to ecnonmy downturn, company retrenched people, sometimes with little notice. Staff sometimes are not willing to give new technologies a chance, for example, they removed SAP BW/APO just less than 3 years of implementation.
