Pros

Flexible working time. Opportunity to work at mainly SEA country. Simple job scope and easy to handle which relatively considered as cons if you are fresh entry. Good maintenance on their company website (look professional)

Cons

Terrible peanut pay which is understandable for small scale company to survive in this downward market trend so don’t bother to talk about bonus, increment, simple benefit, etc. No professional career development and training , what are you expect from a hawker center type of company, they just having less than 4-5 employees (mostly all fresh entry and no senior in this company) included boss and partner after more than 10 years of business run Not a mainstream system in marine field. Extremely difficult to find similar similar service provider which mean field to field career jump is mostly impossible and lead you to start over again from very beginning. (So why don’t you begin with a proper start?)

Pros

- Senior engineers are nice, willing to share their experience and take good care of junior staff. - Exposure to real offshore operations provides hands-on experience early in your career. - Opportunities to take on responsibility quickly, which can accelerate learning if you are self-driven.

Cons

- Compensation is significantly below industry standard. During offshore DP Trials, working hours often range from 12 to 16 hours per day, without any additional allowance or overtime pay. - Management often issues last-minute requests, including weekend work, leading to poor work-life balance. - High workload and unclear task delegation are common. Employees who value work-life balance may find the environment especially challenging. - Company culture can feel politically charged at times. Constructive feedback and hard work may not always be recognized positively. - Some feedback from management regarding employees’ personal time and relationships can feel intrusive or inappropriate. - Safety concerns shared with management during offshore projects were not always acknowledged seriously. Communication on such issues can be very dismissive. - Perceived bias in HR treatment was disappointing. Certain comments and attitudes towards nationality and qualifications felt unprofessional and discouraging. - There is a tendency within management to shift responsibility rather than address issues directly, which can create frustration and confusion among the team. Especially when asking for increment. - The office is shared by multiple companies, and at times, interactions with certain individuals from other companies felt unprofessional or disrespectful, occasionally bordering on verbal hostility.

Pros

Working at Xing Wei Pte Ltd has been a fulfilling and rewarding experience. The company's well-structured approach to dynamic positioning (DP) systems and offshore services showcases its technical excellence and commitment to high standards. Exposure to Global Projects: The opportunity to work on challenging projects across Singapore, Malaysia, China, UAE, Saudi etc has been a career highlight. This exposure not only enhanced my technical skills but also broadened my understanding of diverse markets.

Cons

Work load is quite heavy
