Pros

Generally nice working environment. Good work life balance. Reasonable compensation and benefits.

Cons

Plenty of office politics and almost everybody has a hidden agenda. Despite what HR consistently claims, its policies and processes lack transparency, especially those relating to role appointments, promotions and retrenchments. It's certainly not based on performance... Who polices the police? Even in APAC, the more senior roles and promotions are given mainly to their compatriots from EU (or US/AU). Even the very few locals that play the game really well (but how do they sleep at night?) can only manage to claw their way to mid level roles (with seemingly senior external titles).

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
