Pros

Great exposure to multinational clients across APAC. Supportive team environment and strong collaboration across countries. Opportunities to work with advanced systems (SAP, FSCM, GetPaid) and develop problem-solving skills.

Cons

Career progression heavily influenced by internal politics and favoritism. Senior management decisions often lack fairness and transparency. Workload is very demanding during month- and quarter-end closings. Limited recognition for individual contributions despite performance

Pros

Work from home opportunity. Flexible working hours for some team. On trend with market technology (sometimes a bit too over)

Cons

1. Company priorities gender over skills. A lot of incompetent female “leadership” talks and micromanagement over small goals than actual solving issue. 2. They prioritize visibility over actual work, doing event or making slides will earn you more promotional seats than doing the actual work. 3. No proper training, except for those Udemy or LinkedIn courses which kinda useless. 4. If there is training, they will bond you. 5. Too many old school mentality people holding important roles. 6. Like many of the reviews say. “No guidance” and some senior very reluctant to change. 7. Everything outsource
