Pros

Good company, willing to invest in development of its people. Great camaraderie with colleagues, people are willing to impart skills.

Cons

Let down by management in the Singapore office. RM thinks it’s ok to shout at people who report to him. This makes for a bullying and toxic work environment. The Life Sciences division closing and laying people off was handled very badly. VP makes the announcement and does not want to take questions. These are people’s livelihoods that are affected. The employees deserve better.

Pros

- Time and a half OT - There used to be an amazing 401k (15%+ESOP), that’s just been axed thanks to private equity buying us out - Good colleagues - Willing to train people - Good pay if you’re working OT and live in a cheap area

Cons

- Overtime far from guaranteed. Sometimes you’re scrapping to hit 40 hours. - Pay sucks in expensive areas - Project assignment is mostly luck of the draw? They need to be a copy-paste monkey? You’re a copy-paste monkey until the end of days. - Company did a lot of things to increase enterprise value in the short term in preparation for the buyout from private equity - Company repeatedly shorts people on raises and promotions and works to muddy the water on payscales and promotions.The middle has hollowed out because of lack of raise/promotions. People get 3 years and then bail. - Travel can be super heavy and last minute - Company far more bureaucratic than it needs to be
