Pros

The Medical and Call Center operations were very impressive. They inspired confidence that what was being sold was truly making a difference and saving lives for the clients who used the service. Leaders of the key business units made themselves accessible.

Cons

While the product is "assistance", not "insurance", the client mindset is often the same. Many purchase for an out of sight out of mind, just in case measure. Getting clients to connect to the brand when they haven't had a a cause to use the service was a big problem they were looking to solve. Online monitoring products helped with this - at least giving clients a way to regularly interact with the brand. Up-sells on unused products can be challenging. While medical opps and the sales desk were well oiled, many other internal processes were in development. The culture was against org charts and getting things done internally meant surfing voicemail hell if a new hire didn't quickly click with someone willing to serve as a Sherpa/coach to say whom to go to for what.

Pros

Decent salary - bench marked against market. Opportunity to work with many different nationalities and cultures (not common in Singapore). Opportunity to work closely with medical and security directors. What the company does is very exciting and interesting.

Cons

Departure of mgmt (reporting officer) which resulted in no directions in the division for a few months. Unfair penalisation of work done due to the departure of the mgmt. Lack of support from direct team. HR has to do more to buff up compensation and benefits for LOCAL and not focus on the EXPATS/FOREIGNERS in the company. Work-life balance is evident in the expat employees as you can see them heading out for gym or sports/other activities during office hours and afternoons.
