Pros

Will send back end operation staff to take the IOC course and several other classes.

Cons

1. No work life balance: Frequent need to stay OT till as late as 11pm. 2. Compensation not good: No 13th month bonus. No pay increment n bonus during 1st year. Subsequent year also low pay increment, less than 5 percent. 3. Poor management: Hire ppl who do not do work and slack all day long. Hire ppl who show attitude and back stab others. Hire ppl who cry to avoid doing work. Hire ppl who have no teamwork. Hire ppl who cannot handle high volume and stress. Yet, bosses think that they are great. Total waste of resources. 4. No motivation: No appreciation of hard work by superiors. 5. Close culture: No listening to musics during work, even on the ear piece. 6. No conducive workplace: Need to walk quite a distance to print out documents and one printer is shared by 4 teams. Time wasted on waiting for the others to finish using. 7. Limited career progression opportunity: Promotion is based on seniority instead of merit. Do not support internal transfer.

Pros

Time-off and health coverage are the only pros.

Cons

If you are a woman of color, do not go to this company. They will underpay you, discriminate you in the most insidious ways. Worst, if you complain of discriminatory treatment, they will not resolve the issue at the management level and rather put you on a black list to find ways to get rid of you. They will retaliate with your performance reviews, they will harass you through your management, put you in a non-promotable situation. Worst, if you are unlucky enough to be pregnant they will let you take your leave, however when you get back they will remove any meaningful tasks from your plate. So much so that you will have no other choice but to leave. This is a bad company, they think they are part of the big banks in 2023 but they have a backwards culture from the old continent: sexist, racist and silencing any form of challenges.
