Hierarchy and micromanagement, also people from another team are always impolite and rude

There will be unrealistic target and alot of OT, will feel very exhausted

Terribly poor leadership and execution. Hiring people from Allianz in the name of transformation has resulted in a terrible mess of rivalry and forcing existing staff to leave. Tech operational teams work on duplicated processes - too many ppt decks and presentations that have no value at all. Too many overlaps between the Group and local levels. It's a huge MNC that operates like messy startups. Too many chiefs spoil the broth. Many of them come from Citi and Manulife also. Chief and directors do not have the courage to be accountable. Big 4s are paid and relied heavily for strategy and execution. Staff is always unfairly treated with biased approaches. Others fight to take the credit of your work. Your work and performance are devalued, even though you had helped the bosses and colleagues. Those with the loudest voice will try to overpower you at all costs. They will try ways to gnash and kick you out if possible, especially if you do not fit into their political agenda and territorial wars. Even the finance plays politics to take up the role for chief of staff in tech team. HR does nothing but takes side and join in the politics so to save their positions. HRBPs do not operate like business partners, more like biased opionated executors. They are brutally unethical.

You need to be very independent and a fast learner.

High work load and horrible bosses

No much of cons yet.

Salary is a bit low.

No basic salary and no client base
