Pros

Good company (One of leading distributors in the world as well as ASEAN region) Good bosses (Always have your back when you need them, fight for your incentives) Good colleagues (Friendly and helpful) Above average pay (Not the highest in the industry but relatively high compare to smaller distributors)

Cons

Horrible workload (Working hour: 9am - 6pm but you are expected to work at home at night as well as during weekends, preparing reports, clearing emails and solving customers problem) For technical team - Not product focus (expect you to sell and promote almost every brands) Cannot grow technically (only have general product knowledge)

Pros

Unlimited time off, good work life balance, good benefits, as long as you do your work efficiently and sincerely job position is secured

Cons

Salary should be negotiated well initially. The hike depends on performance and will be very less. There is no stock option for this level. Only base salary and bonus depending on performance of the company
