      Bad WLB, high stress, good benefits

      Junior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits: flexi benefits $2500, lunch catering, pantry, latest macbook, medical etc Decent pay

      Cons

      WLB may not be great depending on the team and organisation you're in. Docs and meeting are almost all in chinese. Little to no growth if you choose not to OT, even risk being PIPed. Even with OT and effort in delivering feature, it does not guarantee a good performance review grade. Trading time and health for money if you don't strive to achieve a balance
