Pros

Work life balance Salary is pretty good

Cons

APAC enterprise arm predominantly run by middle aged white management whom do not care about their teams, purely only protect and promote those who always say 'YES'. Very much a favorite 'golden child/boy' culture. Middle-management aren't the smartest tools in the box neither. Micromanagement at it's best! HR cannot be trusted or even be confidential, let alone actually know what they're doing half of the time. Worst HR team I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Total amateurs. Bonus and/or salary increase can be non-existent. Good people leave!

Pros

GOOD 1- Good number of official foreign trips to stay in luxury Hotels for Senior Employees 2- Lavish offsite spends and extravagant Dinners at official expense for Senior Employees 3 - Mobility/have good chance of being posted in London or other European cities 4 - Very long maternity leave. No one bothers if you do not work and stay at home on the pretext of holidays. Indeed very liberal policy of trusting nature. If you are a female, you will get promotions, international mobility, high increments, stocks and bonus no matter of actual performance as they focus on diversity and He-For-She 5 - People work only for 3 days, Tue, Wed and Thu only, that too they come at 11 am and leave by 5 pm just like any European/Scandinavian country. Mon and Fri are extended weekends. One leader comes to office only on Thu for a single day

Cons

UGLY 1-Very poor Risk and Financial Control environment with impropriety 2-A very senior management team is involved in corruption (taking spouse to stay in hotel during official trips, sending children to tuition in office transport, keeping official Tandberg at home for personal use) 3-Frequent meetings with no decision making by the senior leaders 4-Inefficient and incapable persons occupying senior position to manipulate 5 - No strategy for future, no-one is willing to come as CEO due to poor culture. 6- CEO position is vacant for last one year
