Zombie chugging along
Pros: Really great benefits that is rare amongst Singapore corporates.
Cons: 1. Erroneous hiring process with a focus on hiring from across the causeway or the calibre of mid-career switches.
2. To expound on (1), there was a time when the hires from across the causeway was really value for money as they tend to exhibit a certain level of drive that is uncommon amongst locals BUT these days causeway hires are beginning to exhibit the sort of rent seeking behaviour that junior staffs loathe to see. They work hard back home, get a job here and then decide to just cruise. No longer as driven. Kinda weird phenomenon but I guess it's because it's no longer difficult to secure a job here.
3. SQP is killing the firm as junior staff start to neglect work over their studies.
4. Seems like cruising along will get you an appraisal as good as the other guy who works twice as hard.
