    Micromanage is the way
    The good thingsIf you survive long enough, you got more bonus. If you act like a safety number 1, you got more bonus.
    The challengesmicromanage and no management support. All they want is money saving to show a portfolio to their higher boss i guess. SPM/PM level do not have control on money/costing.

    High turnover Company
    The good thingsSalary average and above.Yearly bonus, variable bonus if you continue stay until project completion. Oversea trip for annual dinner & dance every 2 years.
    The challengesLack of support & culture of blaming. Result oriented and don’t care about how you achieve it. Chances of getting retrench before getting your bonus if project performance unsatisfactory (delay of work, authority fine or stop work, etc)
