Trip.com Group

Pros: It's a big tech company so there are good resources. You get to work on interesting problems within the online travel industry. My immediate team, as a Software Engineer, was generally supportive and smart.
Cons: The overall company culture can feel quite corporate and competitive. Work-life balance for onsite work in the Shanghai office is tough; long hours are pretty standard, and communication across departments isn't always smooth.
Advice to Management: Try to improve cross-team communication and really emphasize better work-life balance for all employees, especially in technical roles. Burnout is a real issue.

Pros: The base salary for Software Engineer roles here is pretty competitive for the online travel agency industry in Singapore. You get your standard health insurance and a fairly reliable yearly bonus, which is nice. It's a stable company, which is a plus for job security.
Cons: The pay raises aren't super generous after your initial offer, and there aren't many unique benefits. Stock options or truly standout wellness programs aren't really a thing. It feels pretty average for a big tech firm in Asia when it comes to perks.
Advice to Management: Look into more innovative benefits packages to attract and retain top tech talent, beyond just base salary. Improve the transparency around performance-based pay increases.

Pros: The PTO policy is pretty solid, you get a good amount of time off which is nice. It's also cool being in the online travel agency sector; it's a dynamic industry. Plus, the Shanghai office has some decent perks like subsidized meals.
Cons: My base salary as a Software Engineer isn't really competitive for a big tech company. Raises are usually pretty small, making it tough to feel valued over time. Don't expect huge annual bonuses either, they're often underwhelming.
Advice to Management: Please re-evaluate the compensation structure, especially for experienced tech roles. Market-rate salaries for Software Engineers are crucial to attract and retain top talent in this competitive industry.
