Pros

Competitive base product (GNPD) International environment Good client exposure. Good camaraderie Good office environment Financial strength

Cons

Conservative/archaic corporate culture. No HR & poor training planning. No career development planning. No basic benefit, at least for most of the employees. Slow process and heavily political for its size. Lack of transparency & communication from management. Low meritocracy. Highs & lows in quality; lack of professionalism and expertise in some areas. Low ethical standards: Sneaky & dodgy management methods tolerated and rewarded.

Nice people and friendly environment. Salary varies depending on the role.

Very bad health insurance and benefits. No bonus. Starting to control employees and force them to go to the office or take holiday for taking 2 hours leave while they anyway always work more than 8hr/ day.

Pros

Interesting work, smart people in insights team can make day to day work life a pleasure. Opportunities for international travel.

Cons

HR in Asia lack understanding of western management culture and employee rights.. Toxic individuals and workplace problems not effectively dealt with... Difficult for young talent to progress. Minimal opportunities for training and to learn in demand skills makes it difficult to secure alternative employment. . People can get stuck here as a result. Sales culture.
