Pros

Not much stress. Quite free, you can choose your days off and preferred shifts. Lots of holidays. Work life balance is the only good thing about this job

Cons

Management sucks. They don't give a duck to employees and sack people arbitrarily. The CEO said "if you are not happy, just leave." The company's policies are ridiculous. They allow customers to return or exchange products, even used or broken, within a year but staff can't even take defective or returned products for testing. They would rather throw them away instead of giving them to you. On one hand, they require you to meet sales target. On the other hand, they even allow commercial organizations to get refund by returning a bunch of used products. I have been working here for more than 1 year and a half but still haven't received pay rise. Worse still, they changed the bonus system to their advantage, which is an indirect pay cut. Every year they try to persuade you to take on more duties without giving you corresponding reward.

Pros

- Great company culture - Opportunities to play sports - Lots of learning opportunity, steep learning curve - Great teammates - Good work life balance - Given high level of autonomy to make decisions - Promotes a "zig-zag" career in the company

Cons

- Fresh grad pay is decent, but have to fight for increment every year, which can be sabotaged if you offend the wrong people - No AWS - Poor VB scheme, up to 10% monthly bonus (which will never be achieved), inflexibility to change the bonus KPIs despite the current global crisis - Lots of politics in supply team, beware of double headed snakes - Most leaders are followers, some are inexperienced, some are bad at prioritizing tasks - The leaders are easily influenced by hearsay/rumours, lack of trust - Hires an extra headcount as backup for each team incase someone leaves, they are always identifying/predicting who will leave the company - Great company, but disappointing management team in supply
