Pros

You can get ahead just by being a pretend friend to your big boss and staff. Being in the cliquish group of same age group or from same ethnic group helps. Nepotism is the core of getting promoted. If you are a new immigrant with accent act dumb and pretend like you don't know you are invisible to some staff to survive probation. Able to send arduous tasks to staff overseas as cheap labour jobs so you can spend your day mostly looking at the clock, socialising and being a clown. If you are still a young girl try to wear lots of makeup and act naive ditzy so the big boss will forgive your low output. You can come late and go home early because all the tedious works are sent to overseas staff.

Cons

Your skill, knowledge and hard work are not critical, your ability to be a fake friend to your colleagues and managers is more important. Need to pretend to be nice and chatty to everyone. A lot of gossips and attacks behind your back spread using Teams is something to watch out for.

Pros

* good building * decent office location

Cons

* no salary review system in place ie. no pay raise * very politics heavy. each dept is trying to cover for themselves and make them look good. * managers talk bad about other people * no proper acknowledgement of work well done or proper compensation for doing additional work
