Good benefits; stagnant growth

Pros

Lots of good benefits like the free food and the medicine allowance that's separate from the usual HMO.

Cons

Very very slow and stagnant growth especially with promotions. Their promotion system is also pretty weird because you can get a new role and have new responsibilities but won't get a salary increase. Senior management skills are also very questionable.
