Pros

Training provided was sufficient for a starting software developer role and trainers were experienced in the industry hence we have much to learn from them. We were given many opportunities to interview with established banks here in Singapore and managed to secure a role quickly

Cons

We were stuck in the beach for a good 2 months, and most of the time it was self study with no interactions. The role I am currently in is very different from that stated in the interview however we just have to learn on the job and push on. The 2 year contract is quite a bummer as, you constantly see the news of inflation while your pay barely moves an inch, hence will have to be patient and complete the 2 years before moving for a higher pay.
