Pros

- attracts great people - provides nice office in the centre for Bangkok - great opportunity for job beginners (big project to learn on) - good salary for Bangkok

Cons

- absolute abysmal tech debt - which was not addressed for years - 100% business driven with little understanding of iterative software process nor how to nourish a good dev culture - management is a bit arrogant and do not respect developers as much (high fluctuation) - to be fair this has been addressed over the years - strange promotions (better you know someone who can help you out *wink* - or bootstrap your promotion) - tech stack: over engineered, not documented, the developer who wrote this left years ago - lacking salary compared internationally - in the past 7 years the main App made questionable progress with a team that is definitely super scaled - loads of people, load of code, who do busy work with little visibility in the final product
