Pros

• The company organises several major celebration events each year, including festive buffets for Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali, Christmas, as well as an annual fruits day. • Health benefits are competitive, with general practitioner consultations covered without a cap when using approved panel clinics.

Cons

• The quality of canteen offerings could be improved, as this has been a recurring topic of employee feedback during town hall discussions. • The organisation underwent a significant restructuring exercise in 2025, which included workforce reductions across several teams. Following these changes, some employees chose to leave voluntarily, citing concerns about increased workloads for remaining staff. • Current turnover levels are elevated, and employee morale appears to be challenged. At the same time, expectations for output and productivity have increased on a per-person basis. • Managers generally expect staff at the executive level and below to independently oversee and deliver their assigned projects. When deliverables are not met, accountability typically rests with the project owner. • The company has a sizeable proportion of trainees, interns, and contract personnel, partly due to constraints on permanent headcount. As a result, a significant portion of the workforce comprises temporary roles. • Top 5 employer-ranking results for 2025 may not fully reflect the broader employee experience, as survey participation appears to involve a limited subset of staff. Broader sampling could produce a more representative outcome.
