Be smart, don't tell what you think

Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Medical Benefit is standard, depends on your grade. You need to use your annual flexi point to convert the package to a better one.

Cons

Changes are relatively low to get promotion. Probably you need to give yourself a 10 years plan, unlikely you can get a level up within short period of time.
