Pros

Working in a small organization will enable you to take ownership of everything that you do. As one of the employees of an organization, you will get hands-on experience at a greater level more than you would with a big organization. Normally, small organizations are less structured and have more flexibility in their way of working.

Cons

The lack of adequate manpower is one of the major problems that executives working in small companies often face. Even if you are multi-tasking, it may not be possible for you to handle numerous tasks at the same time on a regular basis. As a result, the level of workload that you will need to deal with would be significantly higher than within a large organization. This also means that the work may turn stressful and may even hamper your health in the long run. You may lack sleep. If you are a useful resource, you may even find it difficult to take a planned leave. Lack the financial resources as compared to large organizations. Though you get a high level of experience, you will get paid lesser than what you would do for the same job profile in a large organization. As there are limited financial resources for the company to run its operations, you are likely to have lesser benefits compared to what you would enjoy while working for a large organization. lLack suppliers and receptionists. Therefore, you may have to handle a lot of odd jobs such as answering e-mails and phone calls etc.

Pros

- Senior engineers are nice, willing to share their experience and take good care of junior staff. - Exposure to real offshore operations provides hands-on experience early in your career. - Opportunities to take on responsibility quickly, which can accelerate learning if you are self-driven.

Cons

- Compensation is significantly below industry standard. During offshore DP Trials, working hours often range from 12 to 16 hours per day, without any additional allowance or overtime pay. - Management often issues last-minute requests, including weekend work, leading to poor work-life balance. - High workload and unclear task delegation are common. Employees who value work-life balance may find the environment especially challenging. - Company culture can feel politically charged at times. Constructive feedback and hard work may not always be recognized positively. - Some feedback from management regarding employees’ personal time and relationships can feel intrusive or inappropriate. - Safety concerns shared with management during offshore projects were not always acknowledged seriously. Communication on such issues can be very dismissive. - Perceived bias in HR treatment was disappointing. Certain comments and attitudes towards nationality and qualifications felt unprofessional and discouraging. - There is a tendency within management to shift responsibility rather than address issues directly, which can create frustration and confusion among the team. Especially when asking for increment. - The office is shared by multiple companies, and at times, interactions with certain individuals from other companies felt unprofessional or disrespectful, occasionally bordering on verbal hostility.

Pros

Working at Xing Wei Pte Ltd has been a fulfilling and rewarding experience. The company's well-structured approach to dynamic positioning (DP) systems and offshore services showcases its technical excellence and commitment to high standards. Exposure to Global Projects: The opportunity to work on challenging projects across Singapore, Malaysia, China, UAE, Saudi etc has been a career highlight. This exposure not only enhanced my technical skills but also broadened my understanding of diverse markets.

Cons

Work load is quite heavy
