Pros

- Good work-life balance; company is flexible about working from home, other offices, etc. - Generally respect individual employee's contribution - People are friendly and generally fun to work with - Things can move fast -- not a lot of bereaucracy

Cons

- Leadership in APAC is poor -- leaders are not strategic -- mainly short-term number driven and lack the ability to articulate a clear vision/strategy and motivate and inspire team to do great things - Leaders in APAC tolerate bad behaviors by some senior middle management -- for example, some well-connected director/senior directors are promoted despite poor performance, directors that make offensive comments based on gender/sexual orientation are tolerated, some directors spend large amount on dubious business trips/entertainment - Promotions are not performance-based and rather on person connections

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
