Unethical company

Pros

Only to the Asia Pacific Business Center - There's good work-life balance, Family Friendly Friday (knock off at 4.30pm), Compressed Work Week (half-day Friday) during school holidays. Colleagues are supportive and friendly.

Cons

Leadership team is the worst. A lot of micro-managers. Questions and discussions raised with the objective of humiliating or shooting down the other party and not to move the initiatives forward. Products found to be non-compliant but are still released. A lot of bullying methods being used by leadership to their staff. 2 months before Global Voices survey, leadership team started to show concern to staff. Immediately after the survey, they reverted back to their usual self. This is the most unethical company I have seen.

Outsource central

Pros

Contrologix has a good market share so it is good experience. There are a few good people around.

Cons

Very project management drive. All about the metrics. So, naturally, the metrics say to outsource. So, the job is becoming more to package up work and send it to India. Of course, that doesn't really work but ROK hasn't figured that out, yet. If you want to be a good engineer, can't work at an outsourcer. You just won't get the experience. That is ROK's problem, the good engineers are leaving in droves.
