Pros

No pros. exploitative culture , insensitive and extremely selfish people Rarely have nice and capable people but majority have left. The rest are a bunch of bootlicking people who think they are up there. good for anyone who just wants to cruise on by with bootlicking the management. you dont even have to hit your targets / kpi just bootlick and you can get promoted.

Cons

You will get exploited. Compensation is terrible and culture is extremely bad. Can't trust anyone here and management and older members think it is alright to bully others. You need to be ready to serve like a dog on call and need to be prepared to work ots cause your manager is working ot . zero respect for people and personal time. People need a major self check and some serious help. If you like to work in an environment like a dog that only follows, join here. You will get to work with a team that is desperately trying to hire but cant hire so be sure that you want to be facing hell for your coming months before joining

Thank you for your candid feedback. We are sorry to hear about your negative experience and the concerns you’ve raised regarding our workplace culture and management practices.

We are continuously working to strengthen our culture, foster open communication, and ensure that everyone is treated respectfully and fairly, regardless of role or tenure. We value input from all employees—both current and former—as it highlights areas needing improvement. Your comments will be shared with our leadership team as we continue our efforts toward building a better, more supportive workplace for everyone.

Bad management team and decision making

Pros

Only good before the company was acquired by Ascential.

Cons

Acquired by Ascential in June 2022 and underwent 2 rounds of retrenchment. Was then rebranded to a new company (Flywheel SEA) and the entire Flywheel group was acquired by Omnicom Group. All these with no changes/improvements to employees' benefits or way-of-work, but increased workload. Heard from peers that company was recently divested (i.e. kicked out by Omnicom). So within a span of 2 years, the company was acquired twice, went through retrenchment twice, and then divested, back to square 1. All these while having no benefits to employees, but maybe the shareholders? What fantastic decision making the leaders have!

Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand that periods of transition—such as acquisitions, restructurings, and rebranding—can create uncertainty and present real challenges for employees. The past two years have brought significant changes, and we recognize the impact this has had on our teams. Leadership decisions during times of rapid industry evolution are often made with the long-term health and competitiveness of the company in mind, though we understand this may not always translate immediately into visible benefits for employees. Your concerns about workload and employee experience are important, and we are working to ensure that support and well-being remain a key focus through any organizational changes. We appreciate your contributions and wish you the best in your future endeavors. Your perspective will be considered as we move forward.

Pros

Some people are smart and talented, you get to work with them Company shoutouts from time to time for anniversary, birthday and work Somewhat flexi work practice

Cons

Terrible micromanaging, right from the top CEO wants to be involved in everything and doesn't trust anyone to share anything No company annual bonus Pathetic to no increment Culture of rewarding people who manage upwards and ignoring hard workers Inconsistent practices on all aspects. Manager can approve something and senior management can veto later Poor leadership from business, always asking us to do more but never giving us tools, training and time..we don't even have company laptops and software. Have to bring own laptop and subject to audit. Have to download software or buy out of own pocket. No progression opportunities unless you are in good shoes of management
