Pros

Nice building (but many wasted space). Great location (but no shelter for the disabled access or anyone up the hill). In house cafeteria (but overpriced and lousy cooking. They cannot even cook eggs properly). Communication (either top down or none). Flexibility (only if your boss likes you else...)

Cons

Described as startup when you ask for resources or help. Described as global school or international company when you do wrong (because you lacked the resources/ help/ proper instructions). Discrimination.

Pros

Apart from a French approach to holidays, none to speak of. You will have to make the best of a bad situation where any attempt to improve quality or performance are viewed as criticism of the status quo.

Cons

The immature and incompetent management in Singapore believe they are a top school in Asia-Pacific. Apart from a couple of good Profs the teaching and research is abysmal. Most students in Asia aren't even aware of the existence of the campus in Singapore. The only way the Asia campus can survive is by receiving students from the French campus. None of the Singapore based programmes reach the target number of students reducing the quality. Senior management have no strategy and fire middle management to shift the blame. Careers service for students is very poor also. This is a terrible place to work or study.
