Overall a pleasant, fast-paced working environment that cares about their employees - Curriculum Design Associate The Pique Lab Employee Review

1. Pleasant working environment While work can get stressful during peak periods, the colleagues make the whole working environment wholesome and warm. People here are generally quite nice and appreciate that there is no office politics or backstabbing that tend to happen in other workplaces. My bosses are also quite thoughtful; they send us food from time to time to encourage us (sometimes out of the blue to surprise us) and organise social events to bring the team together periodically. 2. Always providing the best The team always cares about providing the best for the customers and employees. Putting your best work forward is essential in all roles, and you need to share the same beliefs. Even for work equipment, we are always given the best (Macbook Pro with decent specs) and work from home is also supported with an external display if you want one. 3. Open communication & no unnecessary red tape It’s easy to voice issues to my boss and discuss suggestions with the team. I also appreciate that my issues are promptly followed up with the given timelines. Decision-making is also prompt in this company. Getting approval on some issues is easy without jumping through multiple hoops. I can say this with a substantial amount of confidence as I experienced plenty of red tape in my previous job when I was working for a much bigger institution. 4. Structured career progression In my last three years with the company, I have witnessed how fast the company grew. There are many opportunities that I can take my career forward. Career progression within the company is flexible and largely depends on your skills and what you are good at. There are opportunities to manage and groom people for those who are into management. If you’re not into managing people, you can also be an independent contributor. 5. Decent remuneration The Salary is decent, and there is an increment annually as long as you put in effort into your work. Performance appraisals are typically done twice a year, which gauges how well you’re doing. From there, performance bonuses are also given accordingly, which aligns with your individual effort and how well the company did that year.
