Pros

The organisation does interesting work and some of the staff are friendly and have interesting backgrounds. Work life balance is generally very good for a company in Singapore.

Cons

Outdated office and facilities, very uncompetitive performance bonus, culture of hiring senior management from overseas (the UK) rather than growing talent from within. Unfriendly academic staff
