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 option for hybrid work here. As a Software Engineer, having a couple of WFH days helps with focus and avoids the daily commute in Singapore. The team generally respects boundaries, so you don't feel pressured to be online super late.
Cons: Honestly, the 'flexibility' could be better. Sometimes it felt like we were pushed to be in the Singapore office more than needed, even for tasks that could be done remotely. There's less work from home options than I'd hoped for in a modern EdTech startup, especially when deadlines hit.
Advice to Management: Listen more to what employees actually need regarding hybrid work. True flexibility can boost morale and productivity, especially for tech roles. Don't just say it, actually implement it.

Pros: You get some WFH days each week, which is great for personal appointments. As a Software Engineer in this EdTech startup, I found the hybrid model offered decent work-life balance for our local Singapore team. It's a solid perk.
Cons: But it's not truly flexible. You still need manager approval for nearly everything, so there's less autonomy than I'd hoped. Project deadlines can override any WFH plans, making it tough to truly plan ahead.
Advice to Management: Trust employees more with their schedules. Make the WFH policy more transparent and less dependent on individual manager discretion.
