Pros

work "flexibility". Management will call u at 9AM sharp with video call. Not allowed to wear home clothes during working hours and you must pick up the call within 3 rings, if not she will be mad at you for not be at your desk during working hours.

Cons

Poor management practices, including excessive micromanagement and inconsistent application of standards Annual salary increments limited to 1%, regardless of performance or market trends Rejection of claims without transparent justifications or clear guidelines Lack of defined values within the HR department, which is overseen by the same management team Creation of a toxic work environment, resulting in employees being apprehensive about their positions Lack of well-defined instructions and guidelines, leading to confusion and inefficiency Unrealistic expectations of immediate productivity from employees upon starting their roles Substandard compensation compared to market rates, with management justifying it through hiring freezes or budgetary constraints Imbalanced workload distribution, with one person shouldering the responsibilities of five High turnover rate, with three employees leaving within the past three months in a company of eight Blame-oriented culture, where accountability is shifted onto individuals rather than fostering a collaborative environment Necessity to adapt to unpredictable mood swings of management Inability to accept constructive opinions and feedback, resulting in negative performance evaluations Requirement for employees to prioritize management's needs above all else Expectation for employees to be constantly available for calls and emails outside of working hours, including weekends, with failure to do so considered a lack of dedication Reflects a traditional Singaporean management style that may not align with modern practices Disparagement of employees' educational achievements in front of colleagues Imposition of strict dress codes, prohibiting the wearing of flowery prints due to perceived unprofessionalism and resemblance to tablecloths.

Pros

Easy to join the company with interview normally being conducted by the SG GM

Cons

Empty promises of flexible working arrangements (WFH has to be approved by management even though commercial employee is covering regional), generous pantry (no longer have Nespresso benefit) and a family-like culture (micro-management is not family-like and finger-pointing blame game). Lack of training before full onboarding leads to a negative impression of the employee by management. Lack of marketing and travel budget to support regional travel and marketing execution. Lack of resources to hire the right people for the right job for the right company structure, leading to multiple roles taken on by a single person. Lack of defined values due to lack of HR department, which is currently being overseen by the same management head. Lack of trust by management to employee, resulting in time wasted going through presentations and unnecessary approvals. Even when approved, management can come back on later dates to deny that approval was given. Overzealous micromanagement by the management head which is not productive. Under-par salary package which is not market competitive. Annual increment is not pecked to inflation and global situation. Politicking by management to different team members to sow discord when things are not going management's way. Lack of well-defined instructions and guidelines, leading to confusion and inefficiency. Unrealistic expectations of employees upon starting their roles with no training being given. Constant headcount freezes and budgetary constraints, resulting in current employees covering multiple roles with no stipulated timeline and compensation. No work-life balance due to management expecting employees to work long hours not only to cover APAC time zone but also to cover the European time zone with HQ. Failure to do so is deemed as a lack of dedication by management, leading to negative appraisal. Unrealistic expectations and unfair appraisals lead to high turnover rate with three employees leaving within the a span of three months in a company of eight. Blame-oriented culture, where accountability is shifted onto employees when situation is not favourable to management.
