Pros

The best in my career, becoming the top notch brand in Asia over time. Looking at salaries for WQ in Glassdoor might be misleading, they pay way higher than reported here lol. WQ revises their salaries every year for new recruits and pro-rated increment in given to current employees as well. You know why WQ has lesser vacancies now, people seldom leave

Cons

None, dont pamper us employees too much, we are going out of hand

Pros

Great pay and work life balance. Absolutely flat hierarchy and very flexible work in every sense

Cons

Management in US is slightly risk averse resulting in too much exposure in what company is good at.
