Pros
Great benefits, mostly wfh and great healthcare with 20 days AL although 4 days are mandatory deducted for office closure at the EOY.
Cons
Just a horrible place for growth. If you are an external consultant, you will be treated like second class citizens with the consultants/ FTE taking credit for the work you have done. Ultimately, EXTs are treated as disposables to the company. In the Singapore Branch, they have a tendency of terminating your contract at the last minute and god forbid if you ask for a raise or growth opportunity - they would rather end your contract than reward you for the hard work you have done. Literally, it is a sideshow where the consultants and FTE are pretending to do work and contribute when in reality it is the EXT's that are giving the real impact even though the rewards do not trickle down to you at all. In the end, the managers are mostly revenue driven and take on a top down approach and do not care for employee growth or satisfaction. Especially middle managers who do not advocate for the employees at all with no real skills in a) managing a team and b) industry skills in marketing, sales or organisational management which is shocking given that it is a huge company. Whereas feedback is only valued one way - mostly top down and middle managers do not value if employees give them feedback for growth. Alas, unless you are a sitting duck with no intention to grow then this is not a company worth joining at all. Never trust the other FTEs or middle managers to advocate for your growth even if you exhibited a huge impact on the company or team, you are ultimately nothing to them. Generally, it is a hard time being recognised here as an EXT, so tread with caution.
