Pros

Nice office - Gym - Amenties - Long lunch hour

Cons

- Lot of freshers and high attrition rate has caused the codebase to be unmaintainable. Employees are discouraged to fix it, and forced to put patches instead of scaling. No best practices, more like hacky college project. - Company pays you for 10am-7pm and expects you to work till 10pm. It is so shameful and sad that company arranges town-hall meeting after 7pm. Meetings after 7pm is quite normal. - Company benefits are horrible. $1000 limit for insurance. Does the company know how much specialist cost in Singapore? If you really believe in engineering, then stay away from this company. I made mistake to join the company because of their huge stock values, and but guess what it is not worth at all. I have lost all peace of mind.
