It has a great benefit package

Cons

Some management are incompetent and they treat employees like chessmen. Expats and local hires are divided. The company doesn't encourage employees to learn and get advanced - they rather prefer to keep you in the current position forever.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat employees with respect - we are human. If the company encourage for employees growth, it will be win-win for both management and stuff.

The senior management seems to care about employees.

Not a place you want to work for long...
Management changes frequently.

Good benefits, salary is pretty good

Cons

Not for the laid back folks, be prepared to spend majority of your life at work, no cubicles (so no time to surf the web or take personal calls.),

Advice to Senior Management

Lighten up

Pros

- Nice and friendly colleagues in general
- Senior staff generally willing to guide
- Job stability
- OK working hours

Cons

- compensation package seriously lacks competitiveness
- rigid culture / micromanagement (strictly 1 hour lunch, spot checks to ensure you complied with rules, need to clock in and out so that they know how many hours you work on average per day etc)
- hierarchical
- limited training opportunities
- segregation between japs and non-japs
- management does not quite understand your job scope
- impression management is key... ( be nice, accomodative, look hard working and you should be fine)
- glass ceiling in terms of promotion, which also looks to be based more on length of service rather than meritocracy especially for juniors

Advice to Senior Management

Show more interest in employee's career development. Improve your benefit/compensation package please.
