Pros

- Wear anything you want - Family & friends feel proud for you - Helpful colleagues - Good health programmes & gym

Cons

- be prepared to work late, til wee hours quarterly for some, round the clock for year end. - pls note: NO profit sharing scheme so hardwork to support the growth of company doesn't get rewarded - boring office, no celebration deco nor chit chat happily during working hours or you will be deem too free. - not so flexi hours, no work from home and don't come in at 10am or get confronted by management. - have 'shoe polish' skills if you want to do well. - too many layers of hierarchy and management have mood swings. - very difficult to take long holidays, abv 2wks. Ask around for advice before joining. High turnover as mgt attitude is if you can't take the workload, there are thousands enthusiastic ppl hungry to join.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
