Pros
1. You can climb if you are good with communication, words and fluffing up things 2. You get nice titles like Tech Lead, Team Lead easily with little to no need at being technically strong or aware of what’s going on 3. Slow pace of work as long as you know how to professionally push work away
Cons
1. People here don’t get promoted by capabilities which lead to stronger and more capable staff leaving 2. Plenty of politics/back stabbing even from the ground up which usually shouldn’t be the case 3. Managers with poor interpersonal and interpretation skills leading to lack of situational awareness 4. Because of point 1, staff try to push responsibilities away and not bother giving quality work like how things used to be 5. Terrible increment structure. Even for promotions 6. Company is going downhill with many business contracts lost. But that means work isn’t as busy as well which is good. 7. Technical strength wise, existing team in APAC is a joke. Try a serious 1-1 technical review with some of the new Tech/Team leads, you’ll be surprised!
