Pros
not very demanding job so not much overtime work. perhaps because of its monopoly in the business of financial communication backbone. Good if you just want to wait for retirement there. health insurance is good.
Cons
Not competitive for MNC. Last time they only aim max 50% lower from the highest market salary. Now they increase to 70%-75% as I remember. Because people are leaving. "Social Justice" policies of HR on hiring. They aim diversity based on Quota of gender. Not based on Meritocracy. 50% male - 50% female. How about the other 75+ Gender?? They defy their own principle on hiring the best for the job. Well the term of the best itself can be manipulated though. Even for a hackathon, they consider a point on diversity. Well, how you gonna split coding task to a tester then... While the programmer can do the coding and testing easily. Don't know what you can expect for promotion then, especially for particular Gender, even though you perform above the other gender. One day I found a book about intercultural training things laying in the pantry. Seems like mandatory training for expat or managerial. You know, masculinity, femininity and that other stuff. I read it briefly, well yeah... They don't have the culture on linear promotion. If you want to get a promotion, easier to apply for another higher position in a different team. But they expect people to grow expertise?? How are you gonna grow expertise if you are required to jump up the team? Just to get enough salary raise. Because your salary is not linear with your expertise. But It's linear with your structural level. Different from people in BE as my former honest and open expat manager admitted it.
