Pros

Still some very good technical people left, good projects and interesting work.

Cons

Too much red tape and not enough focus on the technical details, too many people working on busy work and politics to climb the ladder. Too many good quality upstream staff and managers have gone.

Pros

Excellent company and benefits. Strong safety culture. Looks after contractors very well. Preached and practiced equality for all regardless of staff or contractors.

Cons

Poor leadership at all levels. Leaders only interested in results and not how you get there. Management willing to turn a blind eye to tyrant leaders as long as they deliver the KPIs. Locals born and bred in Singapore are often not hired, management citing locals not interested and no relevant experiences as not hiring locals. Interviews given to locals are often for formality sake with no real intention of hiring them. MOM/EDB should thoroughly check the hiring and interviewing procedures and why many locals are not given a chance to work here. If a company based in Singapore do not even give a chance and groom the locals bred/born, then who else will? Majority of the full time staff are not born/bred Singaporeans. (i.e. Engineering & Maintenance dept) More then half of the mid level management are not local born/bred.
