Disgusting Favoritism and Deliberate Exploitation of Foreign Employees
Pros
Employment opportunity if you have no other option.
Cons
Element Singapore operates on open favoritism and discrimination. Foreign employees are expected to work harder, take on more responsibility, and deliver results, yet the credit for their work is routinely handed to local employees. Promotions, salary increments, and recognition are clearly reserved for locals, regardless of actual performance. The environment feels dirty and unethical. Hard work means nothing if you are not part of the favored group. Contributions by foreign staff are minimized, ignored, or openly taken by others. Management is not only fully aware of this behavior — it is deliberately practiced and reinforced. This is not an oversight or misunderstanding; it is a conscious and intentional system. Career growth for foreign employees is essentially nonexistent. Raises and promotions are driven by nationality and internal politics rather than merit. This creates constant frustration, burnout, and resentment, completely destroying morale and trust in leadership. Management knowingly allows and sustains these practices. Complaints are ignored, transparency is absent, and the same patterns repeat year after year. If you value fairness, integrity, or professional growth, this is not the place for you. -Systematic favoritism toward local employees -Deliberate exploitation of foreign workers -No merit-based promotion or increment system -Toxic and demoralizing work culture -Lack of ethics, accountability, and transparency
