Pros

For some time we had good autonomy and shipping useful products.

Cons

Raises are low to zero, stock price hasn't changed in 2 years, managers expect you to be butt in seat 9-7 every day. Grab is run like a Chinese company, not an American tech company. They will work you hard and tell you you are blessed to have a job. Leadership is not transparent. So many people joined 1.5 years ago have all gone, pushed out or so tired of management they left. Diversity is a joke, if you're the wrong person on the wrong team, watch your back. Mobile builds take 45 min, and somehow they want you to be able to code fast.

Áp lực cao: Deadline gấp, tốc độ làm việc nhanh, dễ stress. Work-life balance không ổn định: Một số team có thể phải OT nhiều. Quy trình thay đổi liên tục: Có thể gây khó thích nghi nếu thích sự ổn định.
