Pros

flexi-hours, good location, excellent leave benefits

Cons

too much flexibility, leading to abuse by employees promotions happen because of the boss "likes" you most line managers are not concerned about employee development little training opportunities (excluding online training modules) global leadership does not understand asia culture and the needs of respective office most managers do things for the "sake of doing" instead of injecting real meaning into the actions they take Weak leadership especially managers are not trained properly and most people who are working extremely hard are not being recognized

Pros

QA leadership do not have sufficient experience in QA domain resulting a predatory environment. Often in management meetings QA head wanted to team to be like brothers and sisters, while line managers take this as advantage for personal gain through financial benefits from subordinates

Cons

A non productive, toxic leadership team creating a toxic work environment, especially in APAC QA, still existing employees reach out to former colleagues for technical guidance which was not provided by current leadership team
