The top leaders in the Singapore office were all Korean, and they brought along their very hierarchical culture to the apac HQ of an american company.. The leaders don't really bother to bond with anyone else other than fellow koreans in the office (not surprisingly there is a disproportionate number of them here), some of whom know that they are "protected" by management and are therefore plain rude and demanding to others even though nobody knows exactly what they do, or what they contribute.. The leaders are either completely blind to bad behaviour, or they dont care..! They promote people who are clearly not respected by anyone else because of their own bad work ethics and lack of manners... in short the leaders dont care at all about cultivating a good natured work enviroment. Whoever talks the loudest and sucks up most to leaders get to bully others (and i really mean bully....Yelling, fingerpointing etc)
The company has been going through multiple reorganisations in the last coupla years and each time, less and less attention and priority is given to APAC i guess to save its declining US business.. frankly no one can tell what is ebays strategy anymore whether for apac or global..! People in Sg office are constantly worrying for their jobs, and good people are taken advtage by lazy colleagues who cant be bothered to step up..Good people leave while lousy people get so comfortable doing nothing? There is alot of dependency on US to get stuffs done but US people simple do not care about apac and often will simply not bother to reply or turn up for calls so nothing good can happen for apac..
The environment is generally toxic.. so many people have left or are let go so there r very little people in office now. Some managers have double standards and work from home whenever they want or just leave office early but do not give same flexibility to the people they manage.. Managers care more about protecting their own jobs by hitting immediate short term targets and dont rlly care about long term benefit to the biz
Juz avoid joining this sinking ship if you care about your career..
