Pros

- Great salary package for talented engineers. They can provide you a salary above top tier software product companies in Jakarta. - Fair workload. Commitment is per 2 weeks (Sprint). - They put a lot of attention in health and safety, though it might be not relevant to Software Engineering day-to-day works.

Cons

- Career path seems not too bright for those who are working in Bali/KL office. They treat them as a second-tier employee. Some folks have been working for 5 years but they haven't got any promotion. - Cannot work from home.
