Pros

Great discount at staff shop. Comfortable office. Agile working. Decent pay. HR policy is employee centric.

Cons

Employees hired under regular scheme are not given equal opportunity as those in UFLP regardless of performance. High turnovers. Lots of expats from a certain country parachuted to singapore office, culture clash, very hierarchical, work level 1 are treated as dirt (more so for staff under regular scheme) and squeezed dry, no life due to long hours (trust me), promotions are few and far between, OT is taken for granted, mid lvl managers are goal oriented so much so that they do not give a hoot about career progression for subordinates. No training, self-help is key to survival. Some senior managerial staff think they rule the world and throw their weight around be it at work or treating people.

Pros

It is a large company with a record of 3 years without a recordable injury. Occasionally feeds the employees

Cons

The biggest issue with this plant and it invades every aspect of the company is a complete lack of ability to properly communicate information. The applies internal to departments, across departments and up and down. They have the technology to do it, just not the organization. Company could probably use much more Engineering organization.
