Pros

Nice people in the past but not so with the new management in the Singapore site The previous senior management ( who have all since been made redundant ) were indeed nice people !

Cons

4 days mandatory work from office Poor leadership Blatant masked layoffs keeps everyone on edge Clear lack of culture and no adherence to ACE values from top leadership CSuite likes to rule by fear and intimidation Singapore site does not have a voice at the global stage Any grievances are brushed under the carpet by the HR team here who are incapable of championing employees rights At the senior leadership level globally , they choose to hire their friends and this breeds a culture of “gentleman” club

Pros

Pay and incentives are higher than market norm.

Cons

Ugly culture, alot of managers do not know what they are doing. Quiet until something goes wrong then start blaming. Staff acts like high school girls and love to gossip. Systems and process are invalid or outdated. Useless HR when brought toxic workplace and bullying to them they will suggest you resign.

Pros

+ New office. + Slightly better pay, but may come at a cost given the cons overwhelmingly outweigh the pros.

Cons

- Hire & fire culture/approach at its finest. If 0 or negative star for overall rating was possible, the company & the bosses would deserve it. - "We Care, We Innovate, We Deliver" values & "ACE" (Accountability, Collaboration, Empowerment) behaviours are just paper talk only. The company doesn't have it's own DNA/culture & doesn't embody/live by the said values and/or behaviours. - Top management are incapable, hypocrites, don't lead by example & don't walk the talk. They don't even talk/collaborate with one another, but unreasonably expecting the subordinates to overcome the impossible department silos all by ourselves. - Majority of the top management/bosses are not groomed internally, but just parachuted in from external & have no clue/direction on what they want for their organisation/what is needed for the good of the company. - Office politics are rife & turnover rate is very high. Every year there is likely to be top management who get axed & when it happens, the whole organisation under will get eliminated as well. - Corrupt culture, no transparency when it comes to recognition & promotion. The incumbents/long time employees has mastered the art of manipulating data/results for the sake of pleasing/boot-licking the new, incapable, inexperienced (and perhaps, naive) bosses/top management - partly due to no shared database/single source of truth. - No collaboration across departments at all levels from the very top down to the very bottom. No work gets done, everyone is just pushing the work around until the last/unfortunate party has no choice but to clean up the whole mess/tank the workload. - Super messy & very manual systems. No database, most of the logs/data/information are recorded manually either on paper/excel file.
