Pros

- No micro managing - Friends/ Colleagues ( use to ) work with are good - Office is somewhat in central - good dental and health benefits

Cons

- Work according to the founders attitude/temper - Project scopes/ brief can be very rush and super messed up - Expect the founders to shout/scream and slamming of doors if both of them quarrel - Little wage, No increment, little bonus - Will brainwash you to do 5 person jobs in 1 salary - Founders don't understand creative pipeline. - Founders can not visualize creative work and will require you to create multiple briefs/output just to please them. - Projects are super rush. OT alot ( despite the founders don't seem to know ) - Staffs turnover are really high, can leave straight right after probation has finish. - Founders depending on their mood will sugar coat or gas light you. - Leave approval is not prioritize, If you have really important issues to be away your leave may be rejected. - Founders will favor people that they like only, rather then equally. ( you will get left out and ignored really fast ) - Founders will require you to step up and learn new expertise that's not within your job description in the name of learning with no salary increment. - Founders will say one thing behind your back and another infront of you. ( toxic, gas lighting work culture is real ) -Require you to be a well rounded player in office to " learn new stuff " but infact they just want to save money. - Company would require you to do "internal homework's" Ontop of your rushed dateline and projects in the name of learning. Even when staffs has feedback that its really undesirable to be done. Founders lack vision in business building and people foresight. It is a client/account focus job where they don't care much about people. Once they dislike you they would say nasty things/scold/gas light you and you will leave eventually. Overall this is one of the worst start up agency you would want to be in.

Pros

Great exposure to reputable accounts, though the work environment is heavily impacted by the boss's unpredictable mood. The office is conveniently located in Bugis.

Cons

The boss frequently makes contradictory decisions, unfairly leaving staff to take the blame. There’s no HR department to support employees, and salaries are only issued on the last possible day each month.

Pros

They give us a lot of staff benefits, more than I can imagine in another company, and the management is very kind. They are willing to give a second chance to former employees who were deemed useless, as they could only talk but never produce results. However, despite the kindness shown, the said ex-employee didn't appreciate it and lodged a complaint with the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). In the end, the judge dismissed the case due to lack of evidence, and the judge was very upset with the ex-employee for wasting both the judge's and the management's time

Cons

I've been working with this company for 5 years already, and I'm still going strong. During this time, I haven't seen any drawbacks, only that the management is too kind to the staff
