      RUN! stay away from APAC sales team

      Commercial account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      excellent product. that’s literally it.

      Cons

      - terrible terrible micro-management - all AEs leave as soon as they get their shares vested in the first year. No one in Singapore office stays more than exactly a year - racism (all upper management management is white , no locals ) - quota is IMPOSSIBLE to hit . Too US centric. This is Asia, same rules don’t apply but management is thick skinned and delusional - literally selling between $100-$500 deals as average selling price (almost embarrassing)

We aim to create a culture where everyone feels they can succeed and grow, and feedback like this helps us continue to improve. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review so that we can address these topics with our Sales leaders in Singapore.

      Working Conditions Going Down (fast!)

      Technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Top tier equipment to do your job Complimentary lunch 3 times a week Snacks in office are excellent

      Cons

      Salary on the lower side compared to similar roles elsewhere. Productivity targets or “Key Performance Indicators” changing every 2 quarters. High workload. Senior management actions portray contempt and mistrust for employees e.g ever increasing tracking. Leading to mistrust of senior management. Not ideal.

      Getting from Bad to WORST

      Sales development representative (sdr)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Free lunch 2) Good training to be an SDR/Account Executive 3) Good wellness stipend

      Cons

      1) Account quality is terrible.. everyone is finding their own accounts but the internal Salesforce system is so bad (duplicate accounts, accounts with 2 person on linkedin etc) 2) NEARLY impossible to hit target.. everyone is working overnight to double up as SDR, SalesOps, Marketing even though we're underappreciated by the Account Executive team 3) US Leadership is blind to all the problems in ASEAN... weird focus on pipeline generation and cold calling instead of hosting events or set up a marketing team in a very relationship based ASEAN Market (everything is a direct copy and paste approach from USA to Singapore) 4) TOO many AEs in the company... severe account saturation.... only 4 people in a team of abput 30 AEs are hitting their targets
