Pros

I have met many talented colleagues across regions at the working level. such people are genuinely here to learn and contribute, but they have been increasingly hard to find these days in Asia.

Cons

After the C-suite leadership change, culture has deteriorated significantly. New leadership relies on fear-based management rather than empowerment or trust. Singapore site leaders and HR follow this same top-down, unsupportive style, where they would rather not question but accept the word of upper management as the law. Employee well-being and psychological safety are not priorities and this makes us feel unsupported We now have a culture that discourages speaking up or challenging poor decisions from our Managers ( speaking from Asia/ Singapore perspective). Morale is collapsing, good people are leaving, and those who stay feel silenced and undervalued, and Innovation and Collaboration are suffering under this hostile culture. We have lost our way with the new leadership. Think twice before joining the Singapore Office . Unless you’re prepared to work in fear, with weak leaders and no real support, this is not the place for you.

We appreciate your honesty. We understand that team dynamics and local leadership make all the difference in an employee’s experience. At ASM, we’re reinforcing our leadership expectations and providing more targeted support and training to ensure our leaders/managers are enabling, not limiting, their teams. Feedback like yours is critical to building a culture where every leader is held accountable to our values.

Zero trust in Management

Pros

Before the new CHRO and CEO took up their positions , the old ASM was a great company to work for. Employees were treated with trust , respect and former leadership cared for their team members authentically

Cons

Look at the high no of leadership folks in Singapore who have either been asked to leave or forced out of the company. The new leadership is getting rid of the old ASM culture , instead replacing it with a culture driven by fear , distrust and a common practice of sabotaging your own reportees to look good. New Managers/ Senior Managers and Corp Directors in Asia (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, SG ) only care about protecting their image , and would not hesitate to blame their reportees for anything that goes wrong. Everyone feels extremely put off by the new culture that has since taken over with the new CSuite and this is made clearer by how their cunningly lay top performing people off just because of politics. They reward people who are going to support them without fail. A lot of our new senior managers across Asia are just here for the pay and title and not truly to help ASM grow
