Pros

It's a job. Join and stay if you have nowhere else to go.

Cons

Incompetence level of the MD is astounding. Banging tables is not same as being decisive or showing leadership or giving goals. Time wasting meetings with input from people who don't lift a finger but because want to appear wise and contributing, in fact outdated. Embarrassing. Meetings with MD is constant rehash, she mostly unprepared but talks loudly to sound in charge. The unpolitically correct things she says about people also reflects badly on her and we wonder how this sort of person can lead luxury titles. Worst part is she undermines her senior staff to others in the industry but does not realize people in the company and outside respect these staff one million times more than they think of her and in fact think lowly of her. Who has the morale to work for someone like this??? She is easily swayed by the whims of the other ang moh MD who is a lot more charismatic and coherent than her but also creates problems with his big ideas that others have to execute not him, so very easy to say.

Pros

Salary on time. Good HR initiatives during festivals. Safety for women employees.

Cons

Desperate to make more money by replacing senior, more experienced people with freshers so they have to pay less. Only good if you are into buttering the managers Change in management required.
