Pros

Nice office and exposure to events

Cons

Beware! Behind the glorified stuff shown on media are slaves working for shein. Lack of basic human respect for hardworking employees, management only care about results and even people who are passionate about their work are demoralised just solely because how employees are treated here. Unrealistic expectations are placed upon employees despite how good they are, there’s no way one can get job fulfilment as all they want is more and more and more! Toxicity is very real, it is very hard to thrive in this bad environment because after a while here all you want is OUT! Things won’t change unless management is changed. Management has zero trust in employees, shortsighted and not capable to lead. There’s no clear direction and internal structure keeps changing due to the high turnover. Most importantly, management does NOT see this as a problem and improve. Always quoting “lack of headcount” as a reason, team is severely understaffed despite the turnover and expect same level of results with the remaining staff, resulting in a vicious cycle of leaving and hiring. Career progression is non-existent, however, if you’re ready to slave 997, this place might be okay for you! Workplace benefits are not competitive at all. Every backend system, reports and communication tools are in chinese for a “globalised” company, be prepared for communications and reporting in mostly Chinese. 100% DO NOT recommend.

Pros

office has a nice view

Cons

The Singapore finance accounting and reporting team is incredibly mismanaged. You will be blamed for everything and given a low performance grade if you work any less than 12 hours a day. And even if you work overtime, you will still be scolded the entire time. The work culture is incredibly toxic and the job scope is a complete mess. Yearly increments given to top employees are far below the market average. There is no future for your career if you come to work here. Please be warned.

Pros

Nice office and good location

Cons

1) Seems glorifying from the outside but is in fact a Chinese-first company on the inside. System and communication all prioritizes Chinese-speaking and if you can’t speak in Chinese you will get swept aside and be deprioritized. Structure and company direction is also unclear, perhaps lost from translation? Everything is just a mess. 2) Toxic, unprofessional culture passed down from top management. Seems like most Chinese managers are young and have no real experience managing people. That’s why turnover rate is extremely high. Management is extremely calculative to the single cent and unable to give direction to team, resulting in auto-pilot mode. 3) No career progression in this company and salary increments are not competitive to other industrial players. Especially for junior employees who tend to get the short end of the stick.
