Pros

Fancy benefits being introduced, work from home, work from anywhere. Some front-line managers are good, some are not good - it depends on your luck. MyRepublic started years ago on the right footing, and have developed a brand for being a game changer in the Singapore broadband industry, and still holds some of this brand reputation but it is slowly eroding.

Cons

Upper management/executive levels are dreaming of IPO, setting unrealistic expectations for projects. Not enough mid-level management handling execution, too many exec level management talking and showing powerpoint slides. Tech delivery teams lacking engineering managers, project mangers, analysts, etc. No time spent to address technical debt in basic engineering, yet dreaming of doing fancy Metaverse, AR/VR, Blockchain. Engineering not consulted on timeline for tasks, all timeline is top-down and non-negotiable - once in a while is OK, but not every time. When internal teams want to deliver a good customer experience, timeline crunch causes shortcuts and delivers poor customer experience, which affects revenue, and then when time comes for bonuses, raises... Internal systems are a mess - old systems, new systems, silo systems, undocumented integrations, no owners (people have left, etc.) Many new HR processes that are still changing, unclear - mid-management will be overwhelmed trying to manage both up and down. There are good people, but many slowly getting jaded and leaving. Unstructured hiring process invites poor and varying employee quality. Pay attention to how your hiring manager interviews you.

Pros

Flexibility and Hybrid working arrangement. As with all other organisations, change is a constant and the change is a good change from what I perceive. A good place to learn if you come with an opened mind. Most colleagues are helpful and friendly.

Cons

Internal processes/systems need to catch up to support the big plans we have. More digitalisation and systemisation is required to keep pace with the changes. Benefits can be enhanced.

Pros

There are no pros at all.

Cons

Lacking good engineers who embrace modern and proven tech but engineers who just want to maintain the status quo. No form of any proper SDLC practice or business direction. The business makes directions as though as they are flipping a coin every single morning. Do not join if you want any form of proper engineering experience because you will not achieve that goal. Lack of mentorship and capable engineers.
