Pros

Overall a culture that is pretty collaborative and family friendly ( at least with the old leadership, not the same for the new leadership) People are generally polite and collaborate with you, with exception of some teams

Cons

We are forcing employees in Singapore back to office 4 days a week in December. As other reviews state, it is not the most ideal, given the time spent to commute + the lack of proper seating space. Our WiFi in the office is not stable, which makes productivity low when working in office ! We have feedback to the Singapore leadership but they are insistent on returning back to office , no exceptions. Really old school, top down mentality for the WFH policies that reflect the disconnect of our top leadership Singapore site needs to have a louder voice to advocate for our employees. You cannot blanket mandate everyone to return to work 4 days a week, and learn to be flexible and keep up with the times

Pros

Joining this company does not require strong technical, managerial, or professional expertise. If you have connections with C‑level executives, directors, or managers, you are likely to secure a senior role. The organization recruits and trains such individuals with high salaries, presenting it as an ‘investment in resources’ to promote themselves and secure year‑end bonuses tied to new hires.

Cons

This organization fosters gossip, team rivalry, and self-promotion. Some individuals benefit financially through supplier and vendor arrangements, treating the workplace as a means to secure personal retirement savings. There is little respect for the CEO’s vision or objectives, and employees are left to operate without accountability. For professionals, the environment feels unstable and insecure, creating daily frustration and uncertainty.

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
