      Pros

      Good pay Relaxed pace A good place to work if you’re at management level or above

      Cons

      Can be difficult to get things done, due to the relaxed pace and unhappy admin staff. Limited career opportunities, a lot of roles not advertised to existing employees Sadly not a good place to work if you are in a support role.

      Pros

      Apparent complete freedom to operate, due to lack of management can make you feel powerful, but that is only an impression. Very heavy workload enables a lot of learning by doing.

      Cons

      Budgets regularly "disappear", absolutely no team spirit, you are on your own, management is only shouting orders and there is no strategy or picture of success and no proper Leadership

      To be fair, it depends on which dept and boss you work for...

      Pros

      -Free lunch and company transport to and from 2 MRT stations -Friendly colleagues -Many staff welfare activities and engagement sessions with management

      Cons

      -Each department has its own culture and working style so your 'happiness' really depends on which one you get into -Some managers are not really aware of what their subordinates are doing and how high their workload is due to lack of close mentoring -Some depts are not suitable for gen-y workers -Bonus has typically been less than 3 months in the past few years -Company is trying to project a certain image but culture is contrived, shallow and superficial
