      Mishandled

      Specialist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      We were mishandled poorly & badly.

      Cons

      1. Messy. No welfare. No accountability. They mishandled the employees. They suddenly changed our job titles. It's either you accept the new role or leave. The following month, after accepting the new role (which by means, of no choice), they claimed you were not meeting expectations in the new role, so they asked us to leave again. 2. If KPI is expected to complete 15 cases per day, when we take MC one day, the following day when we are back to the office, (we are expected to complete 15 cases + 15 cases from MC day, a total of 30 cases to be completed) This applies to taking Annual leave too.

      Not a good company to stay

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Relatively generous pay - Comprehensive insurance schemes - Nice pantry

      Cons

      - Take a tremendous amount of tech debt and never repay to maximize the speed of software development. The source code has become a black box. - Because of this, most internal systems are unstable and difficult to use. Everyone is very busy either fixing bugs or asking around for solutions. - This leaves less time for employees to deliver new features, so people take more tech debt. - Do not appreciate maintenance efforts, but blame if system breaks down. - In the same team, working hour: China > Singapore >> US; payscale: US >> Singapore > China

      Pros

      - Tier 1 benefits - lots of resources/budgets for projects - lots of opportunities as the company grow very fast - tried to be diversified

      Cons

      - culture and management would be a disaster if hiring manager and HR is located in China. In short, you are manager will use the China way to mange oversea employee, which is no sense. - work life balance is horrible, 12 hours of work a day and meeting on Sunday evening is normal. - immature Junior management come from China make a lots of trial and error that have high risk on failure, and management will find a way to pass away their failure. - people working on take the credit instead work. One China senior employee said it’s important to have a good relationship with the high management team then work
