Pros
- A lot of opportunities to move around in roles, good for future move - Work from home almost 100% - Some teams are less political and better work life balance (Technical/Solution Architects, Public Sector, Kindle, Twitch, Advertising)
Cons
- Toxic environment, leaders that has HR and exit interview complaint cases remains in their positions and get promoted. - HR function is weak. If there are any HR complaint cases, leaders often do not get investigated. - A mix of good and bad environment depends on which team you join. Avoid joining the commercial sales and marketing teams in APJ as they are the most toxic teams. A number of political and toxic leaders lead those teams. - People will have to be put on review process due to a yearly goal of sending 10% of headcount for job performance review, leaders often do this unfairly, they would put employees they have bias against or do not like. This is also highly dependent on direct manager. The employee will not be notified. - Insurance and benefit package is not competitive as FAANG companies - No insurance for spouse and children ( you will have to top up) - Regardless of seniority and flight hours, flight is economy cabin or premium economy if you have flown enough in the company. No business class - Frugality (small budget) in team bonding budget or welfare. Cheap drinks and snacks (White bread and Kong guan biscuits) in the pantry.
