Pros

Very stable - they cut salaries across the board in SG and Middle East during COVID rather than let anyone go. You have to really do a screw up of seismic proportions before they ask you to leave. Nice colleagues who have been around a long time Decent gym facilities Generous annual leave policy World-class healthcare insurance benefits for employees and dependents Encouraging bosses for most of us people (unless you work in IT dept then good luck to you)

Cons

Limited career progression Pay cuts of -8% (during COVID) and pay raises up to 4% max annually Low to no bonus - 0 - 2 months Work doesn't get distributed equally - Some people get all the work while there are freeloaders around. You could have a lazy counterpart in a different campus doing 10% of work that you do and you need to suck it up. If you're ambitious, want to drive changes and do something impactful with your career, this is not for you unless you join at top management level.
