Pros

- Access to complimentary drinks and food, creating a relaxed drunken atmosphere. - Freedom to express discriminatory views without consequences. - Immediate immersion into tasks without extensive training. - Emphasis on team harmony over individual mental well-being.

Cons

Cons of working here: - Training programs are insufficient and fail to address practical needs. - Employees are often treated with a lack of empathy and humanity. - Senior Management's presence feels more like surveillance than genuine support. - Micromanagement is rampant, with strict monitoring of arrival times and breaks. - Managers often dismiss reports of bullying, harassment, and racism in the name of "team harmony." - Racism and bullying are tolerated under the guise of humor, undermining a respectful work environment. - Strict enforcement of logging on time contrasts with leniency towards non-official breaks, creating an unfair balance. - Employees are granted long smoke breaks while strict punctuality is expected for other tasks. - Overtime is discouraged, reflecting a belief that extra effort equates to inefficiency. - Cliche culture - so if you try to blend in, you'll be branded as having FOMO. - Office location in CBD so there's high parking costs - no free parking. - Public transportation delays are disregarded, unfairly penalizing employees. - Wages are relatively low and they don't do CPI, highlighting a need for reevaluation and fair treatment.
