TTE Engineering Reviews

I was handpicked by TTE’s HR through their resume search on Jobstreet to consider to start off as a “Project Executive”. Was not enthusiastic about the job offer as I was aiming for other jobs, but decided to give it a shot since I was fresh out of degree school and job-hunting. My interviewers were kind enough and both of them to this day are still friends with me and occasionally keep in touch. The salary offered was slightly higher than what 90% of the local companies in the country would offer to fresh grads. However, they mentioned nothing about having to work on weekends and having to over-time to wee hours of the night on weekdays. (And weekends too when close to handover date) It seemed like a great opportunity for me to learn and gain experience from many fields apart from my discipline), and little did I know about the horror I was about to face during my time there. Each team (grouped under respective services) was assigned a Supervisor and I will not go into detail how he utterly dehumanized and insulted my self-worth, sabotaged my other colleagues and ensured every discussion/criticism/sentence of his directed towards you to be extremely personal and unprofessional. Often, the said supervisor would force you to hand in an assigned task and later on claim it as his own, bragging in front of the PM for credit which is not his. He would manipulate and pretend to be on your side, while badmouthing you to the bosses and sabotaging your probation. I would go into more detail what BS this person has done, but it would take days. Just that, I hope my words serve as a warning to whoever meets the person described above. I complained (as well as other colleagues) numerous times about said supervisor to my manager, my hiring manager, but sad to say they could not even help me although they sympathised with the unfair card I was dealt with. Being even 5 minutes late would get you into trouble with every supervisor/boss in the project even though you live far away and have to drive during the rush hour. Even if you worked more than 14 hours for the day and left the office late, they give you warning about being slightly later than 8.00 a.m. the next day although you’re tired like a DOG. Their reasoning is that “if I can be early, why can’t you?” My health steadily declined during my work here, my home life suffered because I was shamed/told I was lazy/told I didn’t fit the company’s culture or “didn’t commit enough to my job”/ other humiliations you can possibly think of even though I had worked from 8am to at least 10pm each day to finish the never ending work my supervisor REFUSED to do. Finally, I would like to add that the salary is “high” as what most people think/ (I used to think), but please think twice about where that money really comes from (Your time with family, your health). If you don’t mind getting sick and dying young, do not regard your time with family/loved ones as important, and money is your number one priority, I’d say this is the job made for you. Not to forget if you can handle extremely high pressure/stress, can sacrifice ALL of your time and do not mind being treated like sub-human trash, I’d say Godspeed and enjoy your stay with the company that has to add an “Engineering” to their name.

unclear job scope, so meaning we will need to handle everything for A to Z. Stressful working environment
