Pros

Some traces / remnants of the past where it used to be a great place to work.

Cons

Office politics are prevalent at all levels, with individuals often undermining one another to get ahead—creating a rather toxic environment. Middle management tends to focus either on climbing the corporate ladder through favoritism, engaging in blame-shifting, or attempting to shield their teams from upper management conflicts. HR and senior leadership appear disconnected from the realities on the ground and unaware of what’s actually happening within teams. WATG has been undergoing a period of transformation; however, many aspects—such as new career paths and title structures—remain unclear, leading to frustration and high turnover. Ultimately, it operates as a business driven by profit, which at times comes at the expense of employee well-being and satisfaction.

Pros

Friendly environment with staff welfare.

Cons

Non-performing staff can get away with underperformance while hard workers can be overlooked if they are more introvert in nature.

Thank you for your feedback. WATG has heard similar feedback in the past and this is why we are keenly invested in working across offices to bring clarity to our organizational structure and create opportunities, and increased accountability for all of our people at every level. This is part of our strategy forward and we are very excited to set it in motion in 2023 and beyond.

Pros

1. I have moved around several offices in Singapore. No office is perfect, but this is the best one yet. 2. Friendly, open environment. Ohana is very much applied. 3. Many opportunities to grow, especially if you are an intermediate designer & above. 4. Good working hours compared to other architecture firms in Singapore. 5. Good salary compared to local firms. 6. Lots of opportunities to travel for work, which is always a good experience.

Cons

1. Scope only up to DD. If you are a freshgrad, unlikely to gain any site experience. 2. Architectural style is rather dated even though there are exceptions. 3. Bonus is rather small, but seeing the current market- you’d be thankful you’re getting some.
