      Unprofessional setup

      Interior designer

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Nice office space and comfortable setup to work

      Cons

      Unprofessional setup They don’t pay well They exploit the employees, make them walk long unnecessarily. They make employees do physical works like sweeping the lobby and Washing the toilets. Whatever the boss and his wife say at the moment becomes the rule. There’s no proper hierarchy at work. Nothing is taught, they just expect the employees to get as many projects as they can.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am sorry that your time at our company wasn’t ideal and we recognize that this industry are not for everyone. Working in an interior design and renovation firm is not an ideal working condition for everyone. In this industry, client meetings often take place on weekends and evenings, leading to irregular working hours. For a new trainee who has no prior background, the lack of knowledge and experience can add to more stress and challenges in coping with time management, work-life balance, and being proficient in the technical skills. You would have to take much longer time in coming up with a technical drawing than an experienced designer. The company is committed to coach and nurture the new designers. All the trainees in our company must go through a comprehensive full 4-weeks classroom and on-site training program. Your comments are somewhat surprising and misleading. Being a trainee, we would not expect you to manage projects or meet any new client. Time is needed to advance your work. We provide industry-standard remuneration. As a trainee who is fresh from the vocational school without any prior experience, the company is committed to show you the ropes. One must work sufficiently for one's compensation – to be worth one’s salt. We wish you all the best.

      Interesting Learning Experience

      Designer

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Large Job Scope and is exposed to the entire industry despite my inexperience in the industry, was able to learn many things with the help of coworkers

      Cons

      Uncontrollable working hours and can sometimes feel like a toxic work environment. Although there is a lot of nurturing, there are always hints of manipulation and unhealthy work conversations going on. Constantly having problems with clients and subcons, never having a trustworthy subcon and always switching.

      Thank for your sharing your experience with us. We are proud of our work and committed in helping our team to be their best at work. The lack of experience in this industry can be stressful for any new and inexperienced designer or architect. In this industry, there are numerous moving pieces, from understanding built guidelines and standards to scheduling contractor labor, coupled with being proficient in the technical skills. A successful architect and interior designer, the stress is constantly on. Without prior experience in this industry, the company believes in nurturing the aspiring designer and architect like you. If you want to advance in your profession in this field, you must be willing to put in a lot of effort from the beginning. It is a very rewarding career especially seeing the satisfaction and appreciation from many of our clients. We have been working with closely knitted group of subcons and suppliers to meet the various needs and requirements of our clients, with high quality workmanship and timeliness as our priorities. Thank you again for the feedback and we appreciate your hard work. Time is needed to advance your work. It is not always perfect but listening remain important to the management. We welcome your feedback on how the company can best support your learning and development journey.
