      Pros

      Compensation is competitive. The company knows what it is doing and doing it well. There is a sense of purpose and I like it. People are generally pleasant and easy to work with.

      Cons

      Synergy was lacking across departments. Pressure can build up depending on which department you are in and how the business is performing. For better or worse, the company culture is distinctively Singaporean. It means lots of buddies at work (that's great perhaps) but also lack of respect for family and personal matters. Not a common thing but there are toxic individuals (unprofessional, aggressive, selfish) in the organisation but survive due to their competency/expertise at work. Leave a bad taste in your mouth whenever having to deal with one.

      Pros

      "People-first" culture (though this is rapidly eroding, see Cons)

      Cons

      Technology Group (TG) and the former Data Strategy Group (DSG) are nothing short of toxic. Under the direction of COO Sam Kim Yong Sang, we are witnessing a cold, calculated "silent layoff" campaign. Long-tenured staff who have given their best years to the firm are being funneled into mass PIPs that are designed for failure, not growth. This isn't about performance. It’s a transparent maneuver to trim headcount and hit aggressive KPI targets without the PR fallout of a formal redundancy. Management is treating human beings like line items on a spreadsheet, ignoring the devastating impact on families and the mental health of loyal employees. The TG leadership has become a puppet for these metrics, destroying the very culture of trust that took decades to build.
