Advice to Senior Management

Improve employee morale and management skills.

Pros

I would say one of the good companies in singapore to work for. Though its a bit slow from technical point of view, I mean work is not that great atleast for a designer point of view. But you have lots of resources and brainy people around to learn from them. Work and life balance is the best and Company has some good benefits. The pay is better than other companies in same field but again it depends on how you bargain. Overall a good place to work, ideally if you are not looking for cutting edge design challenges and want a good balance between work and personal life, I would recommend CSM.

Cons

Not much of technical and design exposure. Very slow and quite environment. More emphasis on management than technical abilities.

Advice to Senior Management

Nothing much. Its a fab house, so cant expect much design.

Pros

Fair in terms of promotion. More annual leave given than most competitors.

Cons

No profit. So no profit sharing. Sister and brother factories have totally different culture.

Advice to Senior Management

Ultra-important thing is direction. And be proactive to change in order to survive and progress.
