Pros

uncertainty under SPH with plans keep changing and direction keep getting re-communication. however, appreciate that the managers are very prompt, honest, clear and help set up teams for success with clear objectives and goals. work life balance is respected here. trust given to staff. people care about output and work, not politics and optics.

Cons

plans keep changing, a lot of double-hatting as workload stacks. however people are willing to fight. but not sure for how long or if it is sustainable for mid-to-long-term

Pros

Tech in Asia is the right place for you for people who are driven by vision, results, and data. The company allows you to speak any ideas you have regardless your position because of it has flat hierarchy. Flexibility is beyond what you can imagine as long as you can get your things done (bold, highlight, underline). The honesty and integrity can be seen from everyday's work on the articles, communication to the employees, discussions, even the company's earnings & spendings. C levels are only a Slack away, so easily to reach.

Cons

The company runs so fast and challenges us to work effectively everyday. We probably have thousands of ideas, more than what we can handle at 1 time. So it'll be a perfect match for people who love working independently and creatively, who are able to identify when to pause and say no with clear priorities. But it will be a complete torture for those who admire bureaucracy and old traditional ways of thinking.

Pros

Great company with excellent leadership, and a culture that values hard work and achievement but also respects work/life balance and allows employees a lot of freedom in terms of how they complete their tasks.

Cons

It's a startup, which can be challenging if you're not used to that sort of lifestyle. The company is very data driven, which means there may be quick pivots in new directions and you've got to be able to keep up and remain flexible.
