Pros: There's a decent hybrid model in place. You can mostly work from home for most roles. This is good for my work-life balance as a Software Engineer.
Cons: Full remote isn't really an option, especially if you're working with the EdTech product team directly. It's often expected to be in the Singapore office for key meetings. Flexibility can feel limited for truly spontaneous needs.
Advice to Management: Consider more truly flexible hours beyond just location, and clarify expectations for onsite presence for different teams. This would really help with employee morale.

Pros: I liked the team and the culture at this EdTech startup. As a Software Engineer, I got to work on some cool new features for the platform. The Singapore office had a nice vibe.
Cons: Job security is a big worry here. It felt like things could change fast, especially with market shifts in the EdTech industry. There wasn't much clarity on long-term plans for staff.
Advice to Management: Management really needs to be more transparent about the company's financial health and future plans. Giving employees a clearer picture would help with job security concerns, especially for technical roles in the current market.

Pros: As a Software Engineer in this EdTech startup, the base salary is actually decent. It's not top-tier, but for a smaller company in Singapore, it's competitive enough.
Cons: Don't count on annual bonuses, they're not a thing here. The benefits package is pretty basic; it'd be great to see more perks or better retirement options.
Advice to Management: Consider offering annual bonuses or improving the benefits package to retain talent. Even small additions would make a difference.
