Pros

- Salary and benefit is ok, 1-4 months of bonus a year depending on performance, more than 20 days of annual leave. - Hybrid working. - Free drinks, snacks. - Some colleagues are friendly.

Cons

- No work-life balance. Project people will call you anytime even at 2AM, 5AM when you are sleeping if they "think" you are involved in Prod issue. If you missed the call because you worked too tiredly on day time they will escalate you to your boss. And the boss will blame you and remind you need to be "professional". - Poor management direction or direction is not clear. Many times just a command then you don't know what to do next or whom to check with. - Job scope is not clear. There are tasks assigned by manager/director which don't match your skill but without a clear direction or guidance. - No career path discussion. No chance to raise a voice. - Employee has to work with multiple projects concurrently. Each of them has a PM to chase you. - Heavy production go-live process. Too many steps of approval. - Govt based company so there are too many security layers and heavy approval process. - Very politic environment. - Not allow to bring corporate laptop out of SG due to security. - No AWS (13th month salary). - Poor team building activity. - This company just renamed to Synapxe so please be aware.
