Pros

Good benefits compared to other companies. (Gym use benefit, salary loan, convertible to cash leaves, medical reimbursement, midyear and Christmas bonuses) Some seniors are very helpful and fun to work with, making work stress manageable. There are a lot of clubs based on your interest.

Cons

Workload increases first before your promotion. (that is if ever you will be endorsed to be promoted) No technical training is available for you to be marketable outside the company. Promotion and annual salary increases are low. It can't keep up with the inflation rate. Management favors investing in hiring new hires than keeping tenured employees with more knowledge on the technicalities and workflows. Patent incentive is a taxable and one time incentive that is too low as compensation for your intellectual property. Monthly logging of daily work hours is a counterproductive and tedious task since every employee handles multiple projects at once.

Pros

The people here are enjoyable to work with and the team is mostly composed of young individuals. The external benefits are also quite nice.

Cons

I was assigned to a team with poor management that heavily micromanages. The higher executives consist mostly of yes-men, leading to an overwhelming workload and little time for training. The internal processes are cumbersome and involve many steps, making them time-consuming and inefficient. As a result, more time is spent navigating these processes than on actual coding and development. It is extremely time-consuming. The base salary is low and below the market average for software engineers. There are few opportunities for promotion. Additionally, you often get assigned tasks that are not aligned with your position and are above your pay grade.
