Worst place to work at, would give 0 stars if possible
Pros
People in the SG office are nice.
Cons
This company may not be ideal for those who value transparent communication and inclusive collaboration across regional teams. In my experience, there’s a noticeable divide between the Shanghai and Singapore offices, which often leads to miscommunication and a lack of alignment. Cross-cultural collaboration is challenging, particularly for employees who are more comfortable communicating in English. Meetings advertised as bilingual or collaborative sometimes default heavily to Mandarin, and only the final decisions are communicated in English without much explanation or context. This often leaves non-Mandarin-speaking colleagues lost and unclear about the rationale behind key decisions. Even colleagues of Chinese nationality working outside of China have shared similar experiences of feeling excluded or mistrusted when trying to request materials or contribute ideas. While the company aspires to be global, internal processes and management structures appear to be underdeveloped, potentially due to rapid expansion. Better alignment, mutual respect, and clearer communication frameworks between regional teams would significantly improve the working environment.
