Pros

Challenging work, amazing learning opportunity about the internet, dockers, CI/CD etc. Great colleagues, small company atmosphere.

Cons

strong emphasis on work from home, I prefer to work in office, but I guess this is due to restrictions in singapore. Some of the old node.js codes written by former developers are really bad, so we have to refactor them in python.

Pros

1. Great place to work if you know how to play politics.

Cons

1. Lost a piece of my soul working for this company for a few years. The people in this company from top to bottom have no idea what they are doing. 2. CEO and higher management is more concerned pushing the blame onto employees than taking it (hint: look at the Glassdoor reviews. They NEVER admit they have any fault. Practically saints.) 3. Always making it a point to squeeze the clients once a contract is signed by over promising and under delivering. For example, they may promise a certain head count but it's really a phantom headcount with people pulled from various projects to make up numbers temporarily to show clients when they ask. The company typically will rig the acceptance tests and deliver a half-baked product with the hidden (though painfully obvious) agenda of making more $$$ through maintenance contracts. 4. All these might actually be endurable if the company actually has any core competency and there is any degree of decent software engineering. But the so-called "engineers" here know nuts about engineering practices. You are paid to delivery on the bare minimum to satisfy the wording of the contract and nothing more. Developing software here is like zombies trying to fix a car with a kitchen sink. This phrase doesn't make sense because nothing in the company makes sense. All the software I have delivery is crap because that's what the management wants and is satisfied with. I can't say anyone in the company is genuinely proud of the work we have produced (nor any of our clients).

Pros

Remotely, work wherever you want

Cons

- no insurance if you are outside singapore. - they can kick you anytime, you are not defended by the government because you don’t have any working visa. - standby whenever you are. - if you are in singapore maybe its not that bad.
