Business Outlook

Pros

- Surrounded by super intelligent people - Most people tend to be good folks who always try to do right by their colleagues (as compared to some competitors with a more 'eat what you kill' setup) - Clear promotion path - Very fair remunerations and benefits

Cons

- In line with the rest of the business; Limited control over your time given clients pay you by the day/week - SEA is smaller scale and hence tends to be more volatile with less opportunities in specific sectors (as compared to US and EU)
